I had a look in illustrator today; and only the "first" page is provided (rather then the second page where the content goes). There is a background image for both pages in the same directory so I can start with something; but a lot of what we need is present only in the two pdfs. Jody On Wed,

Sounds like we have adobe illustrator and inkscape copies of the flyer. That is a starting point I could work from; the only difficulty would be font use. And thanks for the reminder about ODF being a standard :-) Jody On 07/06/2010, at 9:23 AM, Jody Garnett wrote: > You are going to have to

The ODF adoption/marketing committee of OASIS would be ever so annoyed about your referencing ODF as the OpenOffice.org format as the whole point is that OpenDocument is not a memory dump of an application converted to some vague approximation of XML, but a genuine open standard which OpenOffice

You are going to have to ask Tyler for more detail. For my part I have seen them handed out; raised a couple issues with respect to Font use, made an open office template for slides and workbooks myself for foss4g and that is all I know. Jody On 07/06/2010, at 5:48 AM, Jason Birch wrote:

Hi Cameron: You should find that an official marketing template is already available as part of the work the graphics designed has done. My trouble is that I have not seen it in open office yet. Jody On 04/06/2010, at 9:34 PM, Cameron Shorter wrote: > For the OSGeo Live DVD that we are develo
