I discover every week we had some "official" flyer that I have never seen before, this week it was sogal that submitted a translation to a flyer, for which we have no idea where the source of the english version is (and their French translation is based on Ukrainian source), before that there were other flyers for promoting openSUSE distros on embedded (that looked reaaaally crude) and flyer for the release of Leap 15 with "build to scale" line. Please, if you have sources for any or all of those, submit them to the artwork repository [1].

Having source files of all the flyers is important, I had hard time
finding the source of the one I have translated and it was not English
source.
It is important as well to give the ability to local communities to
localize those flyers because most of the time the general public does
not speak English. As LCP said: dig into your archives to find source
files that you might have somewhere, I and other members will be happy
to rework, update and translate them and I am sure that it can be a
inspiration to create future flyers.

It was more than one year ago, I do not remember and cannot find the original mail (will look in my archives tomorrow). The start of the story was simply that I had this very nice cheatsheet flyer that Doug sent me for booths I was helding at different FOSS events. The only problem was that they were in English which it is a "no go" reason for most non technical users or potential future users. So I asked about the sources but he (Doug) did not know and put me in contact with another member of the, I think but am not sure, Ukrainian community that had this flyer as SVG source. Which was great. It took a lot of time to me, but I finally got it translated. I have a PR [0] pending for the French translation. As soon as it is reviewed and accepted, I will translate it from French to English and make it available as well on Github, where, you are right, it belongs.

When I was working on the openSUSE talk last year for SUSECON (where I was being substitute Richard), I didn't really have a lot to go on. Some of Richard's slides helped, but in the end I mostly made my own deck for promoting openSUSE[1]. I'm not sure if Richard might have some materials from his time as Chairman...
