Oh no! Not again made of a non-free software. I would like to veto and strongly discourage this effort. I'd rather urge you to work towards a flyer created with Free Software, i.e. with LaTeX, for the next LinuxTag. I'd also like to urge you to create release- independend flyers so we don't run into this desaster again. I also don't like the idea of throwing away the donations we received.
