Hi Carlos, Micha et al. Anyone who has a vision of a new catchy GRASS brochure, flayer or even video commercial [1] is kindly asked to stood up and join the GRASS Promotion Team [2]. We just gained a new contributor who is willing to proofread english and german documents, welcome Daniel! All the existing promotion materials are listed on the appropriate wiki page [3].

Does Inkscape produce large files? I am asking because we already have a very nice poster [4], translated to several languages, which weights about 9MB for each language. Since it needs to be updated for every GRASS stable release, Martin proposed to rewrite it in LaTeX to share at least the graphics. If you could rewrite it for one language, I can use the LaTeX layout and catch up with other languages. I think the software we will use for promotional materials is to be discussed. For sure LaTeX will be the lightest and good to deal with localization but it will not gain many contributors. For smaller materials than the poster we might use other solutions. Chip has proposed Scribus [5]. Since my knowledge of Scribus is that it exists, I am going to read & try and waiting for your opinions.

Good idea, I am thinking about that and actually I am writing something in Polish now. Some of the ideas might be true for the whole world, too. Would you mind to co-author?
