Hi all,

I agree with Robert. When I rethink about the events I attended I think something like a pen is a much better reminder than a flyer. At least when the flyer is too general. There were some nice flyers for the nerds @FreeBSD with interesting technical details, but one can read this in documentation. This is not the best way to get new users. One idea would be an updated Fedora Cheat Cube, which is really useful for new users, for example to learn dnf commands. I still have the one I got some years ago at FrOSCon.

I also don't want to be harsh, this is just an IMHO to add additional ideas ;)

Greetings,
Christian

For example, would product specific flyers be something that can be
used at events? Should these be release specific like this one:

this might sound quite harsh but I want to be open: I think, we do not need
flyers for Fedora at all. I am visiting lots of trade fairs and conferences
a year, either as visitor, as speaker or as exhibitor. And when you look to
the trash bin at the fairground you will find a lot of them there finally,
the other ones usually end on the trash bin at home - at least for me. The
flyers are from my point of view just marketing stuff that do not add real
value to a product, while a high-quality pen (that may works for years) is
doing so (I still have some very old marketing pens from trade fairs, that
are really well to handle and at writing). Flyers are wasting paper except
for a very very less percentage, because the world gets more digital. Think
about yourself: What are you doing if you get yet another marketing flyer?


Greetings,
  Robert
