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? Should we remove the panel with links for the A4 version? Or one of the other two panels? Here's a link to the current brochure if you want to have a look: http://linux.ioda.net/openSUSE/git/opensuse-artwork/flyers/ Pick the bottom one, openSUSE brochure_v3.pdf
