Re: Help adapting poster for aussie use.
I would like to see a group of flyers that I can put around my house :) Framed Ubuntu art work? this house runs on ubuntu based computers :) tom_a_sparks Light travels faster then sound, which is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak snip On 23 July 2010 16:09, MoLE moleonthehill+ubuntu...@gmail.commoleonthehill%2bubuntu...@gmail.com wrote: Afternoon all.

Re: Help adapting poster for aussie use.
Good for you, MoLE, If you save the document as a JPEG you can alter it in GIMP. If you do not know how to do that nor want to learn Scribus, the easiest solution is to contact the author (you will have to send him a copy anyway). Send your request with details of what changes you need to tord.jans...@gmail.com He has volunteered to assist (see the text file in the source package). Another option is to write a new document and copy and paste the images. If you really get stuck, contact me off-list and I will help you with the graphics. Andre .

Re: Help adapting poster for aussie use.
Many thanks for your suggestions so far. I was hoping we could leverage the spreadubuntu resources to create our own set of promotional material. Perhaps for the next mtg agenda.
