Hi,
in preparation of the Software Freedom Day I'm currently looking for some ready-to-print material for Free Software promotion. That means flyers, posters, leaflets explaining the idea in general. Preferably short, easy to grasp and visually appealing. :)
Any hints welcome.
Thanks, Stephan

thanks very much for this request. I think we should have some copies of the English version of our flyer left in Essen. If you need a remarkable number of them you should ask media publishing house Künzel in Darmstadt [1]. They still should have the films of the flyer we have produced last year. If you plan to order a reprint please give us a note - maybe we want to join you. That might help to lower the per-copy-costs.
Additionally we have a lot of the (German) Free Software supplement published by Handelsblatt. To get the latter please write to office@ and ask for them. To get a donation for the transport costs would be nice...:)

But I need them electronically (i.e. PDF or whatever) unless you can send me the already printed material for free or very low costs. I planned to print the stuff myself here (in Potsdam) using some University channels. Anything that creates costs on our side is bad. ;)
And it wouldn't need to be FSF materials specifically. Anything explaining the copyleft idea would be welcome.

@Werner/Martin: Do we have the flyer we have produced last year because of GLT electronically? (English Version of FSFE-Flyer)

at least the Handelsblatt supplement would engender transport costs only.
And it wouldn't need to be FSF materials specifically. Anything explaining the copyleft idea would be welcome.
Handelsblatt supplement would help you with that I think please check: http://www.pr-profi.com/fsueberholspur.htm

Hi,
just for the archive, so that maybe someone with the same problem in the future then isn't stuck like I was...
I was hinted at http://www.debian.org/events/materials/flyers/general/, which is a nice Debian specific flyer.
Volker Dormeyer was so kind to send me some of the FSFE flyers used at the booths.
But since these were English and I didn't know whether they would make it in time, I made one in German myself, which can be downloaded here: http://www.uplug.de/download/fs-flyer2b.pdf
Cheers, Stephan

Ups, my gpdf couldn't handle the font??? I had to convert it to PostScript to actually read it. ...but it look good!

My xpdf said: Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph and that is was created with ESP Ghostscript 7.07 but otherwise it could display it.

Yes, I found it to be nice. What is the license on the flyer? :) Bernhard

I'm not an expert with Latex. But you can compile it yourself if you want. The sources are here: http://www.uplug.de/download/fs-flyer2b.tar.gz

Thanks.
I would say GPL but I don't know if that's possible with all these graphics from other people.
All permissions I could give you shall be granted. :)

Replace the line \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} with \usepackage{pslatex}
Then it uses the PostScript fonts, which are scaleable. They even don't have to be embeded, so the filesize gets much lower.
Remark: MetaFonts are also scaleable, but they cannot be directly included into PDF files. So GhostScript pixels them.
