I am afraid JDD is right, this is too much text for a 2-page flyer. It just doesn't work... I do like the idea of a very newbie-friendly flyer but it should be much, much shorter.
I am afraid all of linux, operating systems and free software AND openSUSE just doesn't fit on one flyer :D
BTW the folders here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_materials#Folders_and_leaflets
aren't finished yet, maybe we can put a bit more effort here - they target the 90% of the people we see at conferences we visit all the time ;-)
The text we wrote for newbies is great for our webpage, let's keep it at that for now. How often do you meet people who don't know what an operating system is at a conference?
If I were newbie, I would prefer a flyer with more pictures such as cartoons. When I help installing openSUSE to my newbie friends, I explain them the GNU and that there are also other Linux distributions, they ask me questions such as antivirus, why Linux (although there are plenty of positives) it's behind the scene (I reply it's marketing). Also they ask me why is free etc. I think people need fast food and a flyer explaining with cartoon (or cartoon pictures) is what we need. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
