Hi!
It's still a long year before the next Software Freedom Day, but for viral marketing purposes
it would be nice to have some artwork for the 19th of september 2009. Especially the
software freedom day 09-logo would be nice to have available, in either SVG or high resolution
format for printing.
For examples of web banners for this years event, see
http://softwarefreedomday.se/2008/08/16/28/
We'll try for next year to get these things out sooner, to be able to anchor the event in
organizations and institutions all over Sweden.
For that, we need to produce posters and pamphlets with the new logo, so that people are
able to download and print them. And a new (good looking) website.
Is it possible to release a 2009-version of the logo (at least)?
Kindest Regards,
Mathias Friman
Sweden

Hi.
On the following SFD site there is a nice leaflet which I and my
colleagues translated to polish some time ago.
http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork
Double-folded 'What is Open Source' leaflet: Color background .pdf
source files or White background (suitible for b/w photocopying) .pdf
source files. Uses mgopen modata font.
I'd like to know one thing about this leaflet: who is the original
author and what is the license of this leaflet?
I need this information to reproduce my translation in large quantities.
Regards.
