While it's useful and often important to have fact sheets on specific topics or aimed at specific audiences, a trifold brochure may not be the most appropriate format in all cases. For OSCON, I think I will slightly amend the page from the website and/or or wiki and print a 1 page handout in portrait orientation instead if a trifold brochure. Then when debs ask me questions (as they did at SCALE) I have something to hand them with more technical info. Yes, I'll run it by the list first. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
