Hello,

I just noticed a note in the DIY marketing page on the wiki -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing :

* /!\ Important Observation: Could we have access or ensure work is done
with Ubuntu computers running free software and so generating free
format files? AFAIK, the .eps and .psd ARE NOT Free as in Freedom. All
we do here, all the community work is based on freedom, and so I believe
we should provide and assure we keep it like that. For desktop
publishing (DTP) work in Ubuntu, have a look at [WWW] Scribus - it's in
Universe - or Inkscape. *

Although I agree we should use and ask any contributors to use open,
free formats, I think this should be a friendlier request - or perhaps
guidelines.  Certainly not to be discussed *on* the wiki ! :)

I also think the material should be in a format that users from Windows
or other OSs can use. After all, what's the point of having DIY material
in a format that can't be used from another platform ? Or even ask to
provide PDFs so that they can at least be printed.

Most importantly, I want the *source* material (fonts, graphics, texts)
easily available, unlike most of the Mozilla/ Firefox material that is
useless for any translation or professional printing.

Any opinions on this ?

Cheers,

Fabian
