ok, I am a graphic artist, so I am offering to supply artwork/ 
designs, some flyers and some posters. So what info do we want on the  
flyers and posters? Cost and time wise, I'd prefer for a flyer thats  
a black & white photocopy onto coloured paper (could produce  
thousands of these without too much trouble, full colour I'm limited  
to producing in the hundreds, unless someone has access to an offset  
printer?). Plus have to think about size, flyers are usually either  
A5 or A4. Poster wise I am able to print to A1, via inkjet, (and I'd  
probably laminate), and I'd probably produce around 10 or so  
depending on what size people what. Do we know what the stand size  
will be?

So what info on the flyers and posters? What info about free software  
and probably HUMBUG do we want to get across?

My other thought was to also give away little 'HOWTO' cards, which  
tells people how to do the common tasks with the open source or free  
software.
