The latest version of the posters and slides are now available in the opensuse-artwork repository under a CC 3.0 BY-NC-SA license. I tried to compress the material by tar'ing everything, but if you're gonna download all four packages it's still a 50MB+ download. That's because I wanted to use high-resolution artwork (where available) to allow for some scaling. https://gitorious.org/opensuse-artwork/opensuse-artwork/blobs/master/posters... https://gitorious.org/opensuse-artwork/opensuse-artwork/blobs/master/posters... https://gitorious.org/opensuse-artwork/opensuse-artwork/blobs/master/slides/... https://gitorious.org/opensuse-artwork/opensuse-artwork/blobs/master/slides/... Feel free to translate the material into your native language using Scribus 1.4.0rc1. If you're still having trouble with the files, let me know. I'll look into it when I have some free time, so it may take a while. Cheers, Pieter 2011/5/21 Pieter De Decker <pdedecker@gmail.com>
Alright... I have upconverted all Scribus files to v1.4.0rc1 files, rewritten some text and collected all necessary fonts and color profiles for each file. I have the poster and slide sources along with their exported PDFs ready to go. If Jos would be so kind to provide me a Git account and a folder in the artwork repository, I can upload them for everyone to use :) If I release the material under a Creative Commons 3.0 BY-NC-SA license, will that be loose enough to allow everyone to create their local translations and to use them to promote openSUSE? I should point out that the backgrounds on some of the posters/slides are below the recommended minimum DPI, but I don't have the time to search for other suitable background images right now. Also, the YaST logo that I used is only 256x256 pixels, so this may produce less than satisfactory results if printed. Does anyone know where I can find an SVG version of the YaST logo? Pieter

Hi all,
I would like to put them in git*, how about you getting access so you can update them if/when you like? Yes, I'd like that! :-) I will fix the sources and add them to the repository for translation as soon as I have some time. That may take a couple of weeks, I'm afraid.
The licensing IS a bit of an issue - it's really helpful if we are able to translate flyers etc and for that, artwork needs to be GPL like and come with sources... Any way we can convince you to release the source? I've already released the sources. The Box.net link must be somewhere on the mailing list, but I'll put the fixed sources in the Git repo when I have the time. As for the licensing: I've included a text file in the posters/slides ZIP that collects the licensing information, but I don't know if the material's licenses are compatible with the GPL license. Is there an intellectual property expert in the room?
We don't have it translated due to some problems with the source files Are you unable to open them or does the source render incorrectly on your computer? I'll look into it when my work load quiets down.
Pieter

Hi Andreas,
I already added the posters here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_miscellaneous
I could add the slides to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations, but I don't think they're fit for presentations because they've got too much text on them, which takes away a lot of attention from the speaker. I modeled them to be the sort of slides that you might take a look at when you're passing by a booth. That's my opinion - of course you're free to use them how you want. :-)
you're entirely right, the slides belong somewhere - exactly in the place you put them: Slideshow for booths :D

(I would use it to at least produce Spanish and Portugese versions, I know the greeks already have it in their language. But it also makes it possible for us to update this in the future...)
We don't have it translated due to some problems with the source files but anyway we got them printed and they got a lot of peoples attention. It is some great piece of artwork and definitely we could use it globally. Kostas

I propose to add links to these to the openSUSE wiki, so that others can find and use it. I guess it should be added to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations
Pieter, could you do this, please?
thanks a lot for these nice posters!
