My understanding is that A4 is the "required" alternative and requested size. The closest equivalent to US Legal (8.5" x 14") is B4 (10.12" x 14.33"). Even if we could use US Legal in Europe, copy would still need be deleted because the width is a half inch shorter and the length is almost 2 inches shorter than what the existing layout calls for. The reason for the current size is to fit all the content.
Please note that I mostly asked for A4 based on my (possible mis-)conception that in the EU and much of the rest of the world, US Letter paper might be harder to come by or print on. I simply do not know for sure if this is true or not. I checked a few online printshops in NL, they all only offered A4. I suspect that IF letter is possible, it'll be more expensive.
If we shorten the text a bit, maybe an A4 version with the links added to one of the two text panels (or both) could be used. This means we remove the panel with the links (Get Connected) instead of the text ones. Ideas?
For now, I'd say let's start with having a Brochure in Letter format. I will try and shorten the texts so we can have it translated in the future but the text for the english one is fine as it is.
If the other marketeers agree, let's consider this thing final so we can print it in the USA!
Hi all,
Can I get some of your thoughts on this? Should I print 2000 of these in the USA and start writing a shorter text to be translated in Spanish, Portugese, German etc?
Ok, if nobody answers, I'll just decide. Once Karl has made the changes suggested by Henne, we'll print 2000 doublesided flyers and 800 posters like the ones we had at Scale ('why is openSUSE cool').
Sorry For some reason I lost this e-mail :-( For what is worth I agree, just send me the source file to translated in Greek, although I am not sure if a translation would be a better solution that the actual English text since the translation of cool in Greek is a bit weird. I still use the ones we had in Scale,though the colors fade out a bit, people really attracted by it in the events we made.
Should we remove the panel with links for the A4 version? Or one of the other two panels?
Let's remove the one with links and put just an openSUSE link somewhere else.
Here's a link to the current brochure if you want to have a look: http://linux.ioda.net/openSUSE/git/opensuse-artwork/flyers/
