Hey this looks great Kostas. Scribus is a fantastic tool, but I did find it difficult to use at first. I used 'view' so online preview I think, so I don't know if I'm seeing it exactly as is. As I'm seeing it, the text is very close - I'd make the borders a little bit bigger (more white at each side) - that allows room for folding too. Can you see if you could put a light colored background image under the text perhaps in one section? In the revised text you note I cut the 'Why Use Free Software' right down to just be the four freedoms, thinking that would look nice in a colored box. You can of course use the previous revision if you wish, just make sure your headline is 'Why Use' not 'Why To Use' and check the grammar carefully. Great idea having flyers ready to print. (hmm.. gosh did we end up with an openSUSE Great Inspired Punch Line? ) Free Your Mind with Free Software Your Computer - Your Way, with Free Software Find Software Freedom with Linux cheers Helen On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 5:58 PM, Kostas Koudaras <warlordfff@gmail.com> wrote:
For some reason when I thought of the print idea I said why not try to make a draft on Scribus? So I took the texts as where on etherpad and made a draft,so I made one just to see and tell me if you like the idea,if you do when we finalize it I could try to make it happen,though I must warn you that is the second time ever I open Scribus.

I'm just taking a look now to fix up some of the English. A few edits have introduced 'too much information' which I'm toning down a little bit.
I'll try to make it as polished as possible and will save the revision when I'm done.
One idea - in print, the 'four freedoms' would look nice separately in a highlighted box.
cheers

I just read the whole etherpad and I find it complete, I added the four Freedoms and I really cannot find anything else I could add so that we'll keep it simple. Take a look on it but my opinion is that this task is over. I really liked the whole idea and if we make it a Flier I will definitely will translated at Greek. Kostas

Sure but we can fix that later on... Writing for complete and utter computer newbies doesn't seem like a very useful thing to me. Sure, there are quite a few of them, but I doubt they would end up on the openSUSE page. And if they did, I doubt they can decide what operating system they use - such newbies either use a computer at work or school or a place like that or have a more knowledgable friend who takes care of their computer.

Either way, we have created this page: http://ietherpad.com/HGnVPSDjFD
points to Helen for most of the writing. This could be a page available on our homepage. Manu, as you're working on that, could you find a spot for this?
Sure
