I had the flu and was quite busy otherwise lately, but finally I have a first version of the ASF brochure which I'd like some feedback on (and pointers to any typos I may have made). I've had to come up with some text on my own to fit everything in the cramped space. Since I'm not natively English speaking, there's a good chance that there's some suboptimal text in places. Other text I have copied from our website. I'm open for any comments. The goal is to have it ready by the end of the week so there's still a chance to print a few sheets for OpenExpo next week.
I ended up doing this in XSL with FOP. Sadly, Scribus only got in my way but FOP was very cooperative. ;-) PDF: http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/asf-brochure-en-up.pdf XML Source: http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/asf-brochure-en.xml BTW, does anybody who is planning to come to OpenExpo on Wednesday have access to a decent color laser that he/she could print the brochures on once the thing is ready? I assume we probably don't need more than 30-40 pieces (although I can always be wrong about that). On 02.09.2008 08:49:31 berndf wrote: <snip/> > > I'm open for additional ideas on the design.
