Hi Nancy after some digging and consulting and more digging on my inbox I finally found one of the nicest brochures that was given at SCALEx6 in Los Angeles in February 2009. This is one of the most visible ones, hope we can use it as a template for more great work: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/File:Pamphlet_BD.odt This is from the 2.4 release, so a 3.4 would be needed, hopefully this helps. I am thinking that a design could be approved, then placed on the website so that anyone representing Apache OpenOffice could print it out. This might be an example of a way to fund an event - using funds for the paper and ink or professional printing. The vote to offer funds for an event could be proposed for approval or disapproval. If approved the design posted could be in a file format that could be printed directly or sent to a printer. Nancy Nancy Web Design Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com.

This can be easily updated, what is more dificult is trying to get back some of these marketing jobs, specially sources files. These source files makes editing and generating marketing kits more easily. Other communities like Software freedom day has been pretty good on launching new marketing kits, or images. OOo days, there was also some marketing efforts on presenting a similar design for things. Like the wireframe gull or the waves. unfortunately oracle's brand refresh of just using 'white' left us with only the orb as a design element. Apache hasn't really produce much, even with the logo there are some missing pieces. So I think is important at least to have something like brochure sources, newsletters, and such to be able to pull together some marketing efforts. Nancy Web Design Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com.

Re: Marketing events: Brochure? Newsletter?
We used to have a newsletter, but it was always a challenge to get people to talk about the development every month. http://www.openoffice.org/editorial/spotlightindex.html There was also a mailing list: newslet...@marketing.openoffice.org Not sure how many process were stablished or discussed, but some recycling could be done. As far as brochure, I remember Drew help out a lot on ScaleX6. I still have them somewhere, i most say the design was pretty good en-par with the design guidelines.
