Hi all,
The awesome brochure sources have finally been recovered. You can find them here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20brochure_v4.eps
There is a number of changes we need to do, all summarized in the document with the updated text: * Text needs review * Need to turn the Brochure in a 3-panel trifold on A4 * Remove 'links' pane on front * Replace front text with shorter text (see below) * Re-arrange back to fit A4 and use improved text (see below) * Get rid of the SUSE and Novell logos, this is an openSUSE Brochure * We need to make this Creative Commons, except for the logo's. * The openSUSE Logo on the front page is some self made logo with strange color in the text, needs to be fixed. * There is only one small Geeko on the whole brochure. We need more :D * A bit less SUSE Studio, a bit more other openSUSE projects. Nice to have: * We can use the upcoming 12.1 artwork on the front * turn it into a SVG so it can be translated more easily!
See the above todo and text here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20brochure_v4.odt
Anyone who is willing or able - let us know what changes you can make, make them, get the result to me and I'll put the updated version back on the dropbox. As soon as we have a decent version we can start translating & printing.
A large change I made which I need feedback on is that I removed the app installer text to be replaced with openQA. See the document for the cool and cool++ points.
Otherwise, who can update/fix our brochure?
Thanks, Jos

I personally have no way to open the EPS. Does ANYONE here have the ability to open and edit them? Any way we can convert it to a format we can all use (Scribus or Inkscape)?
We have the distro artwork so the flyer could be updated with the new artwork :D
Thanks, Jos

Really? Firefox suggested me to open it with Okular after downloading.

I read the document. Shouldn´t it be (c) 2011 SUSE *Linux Products* GmbH or at least SUSE *Linux* GmbH instead of only SUSE GmbH?

GIMP and Inkscape are able to open it and save as x.xx or x.svg repectively but it does not keep one by one bit conversion. So it will need a really good graphic designer to fix it.

should be done with scribus, which is the tools for such documents, and pretty easy to copy if we have the basic artwork (geckos, background...)
it seems to be decided (on the artwork mailing list) to make what we can for 12.1, but meet again very soon after that to decide for the future.
May be we have to find a graphical chart for publications, not tied to the distro artwork, a bit like what we have for the trademark, extended to other documents
I wont have time for the 3 next days, but from oct 10, with luck, I may have some. If so, I will try to work on the flyer
but this is subject to changes independent of my will so if anybody want to do, do it!
thanks jdd

I just tried with Scribus 1.4.0 rc5 to open openSUSE brochure_v4.eps and I found 'Converting of 54 images failed!' . So I figure out it was a composition with GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape, ..... not easy to edit without missing or changing something not desirable
Best,
