These are available already. The conference packs have lots of flyers. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing has some as does http://ubuntu.ec/su/drupal5/ > if > it looks good people will take note, and will be consistant, hand > printed stuff with a home printer can look awful compared to properly > professionally printed leaflets (compare the free cd's to home printed > cd labels and you get the idea), > We gave lots of these out at the Linux Expo in London last month.

I don't think it's necessary to have tux there given the vast majority of people wont know what relevance a penguin has, or indeed what/who he is, and it's not (and shouldn't be) explained on the poster. > again what is needed here, is an easy way to upload to the right place > on the site, (it seems i need another password and uid to sign in to a > different part of the community site, perhaps someone on marketing > could help me with this please. > You can logon to the spreadubuntu and the wiki sites using openid.
