What is the goal there? (Obviously not to get them to > try it?) Why not? Matthew already mentioned a few things. Why shouldn't advanced Fedora users that go to events be informed of what's new in a release? Even if they are advanced users, they don't necessarily keep up with the changes in each release the way we contributors do. > > Folks who are already users / advanced users aren't going to use a > flyer > or any printed / PDF document as a primary source for information. > There > are much better ways to reach these folks.

The plan here is: - to request the design team for scribus templates (you'd suggested this yourself in the meeting where my original e-mail was discussed) - to request the various WGs for text that will go into the flyer - for the marketing team to put this together and make the flyer available. This spreads out the work load and I think it's quite manageable. I'm happy to run around and get the different WGs to provide text - I'm doing this already. The design team will not need to update the template each release either - it'll be a one off task. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha
