What do you mean by saying inside points?
the flyer gives very little room to all the things that makes the openSUSE *distro* cool. inside the distro.
I always find it a bit hard to promote openSUSE to people who know linux and use eg Ubuntu or Fedora already based on the product itself. As I wrote earlier, I don't believe differences are huge. And the distro points that ARE unique are in the flyer: we ship all desktops, Tumbleweed & evergreen. Maybe we could/should add (web)YaST but otherwise - for a technical audience I think the current flyer is good. However things are of course different for a more 'newbie' audience! For them we should have something. But we're working on that!!! Here: http://piratepad.net/d8xWTUwHq3 !!!!! For more experienced users who might want to contribute we also work on this: http://piratepad.net/xKoBE4vmSM ;-) We need a series of different flyers and posters. This A4 thing which was made by Helen, me, I've seen Kostas I believe, in the etherpad, and everyone who responded to my "creativity?" email (including Kim, Manu, Cornelius etc) - it targets people who know linux very well but are not aware that openSUSE has such cool stuff. They won't be impressed by us saying it's easy to use or install... They know that Ubuntu and Fedora can't be much harder (and they are right). So, if we manage to finish these end-user and this contributor flyer, we'll have something for everyone: admins & technical people: what's cool in openSUSE. End users - enduser flyer. Maybe-contributors - contributors flyer. Maybe we need a flyer with more info for the technical users, expanding upon the what's cool in openSUSE (that just makes them google or talk to us, it doesn't answer any questions). But I think we should finish the end-user and contributor ones first :D
