[Ambassadors] Organizing Fedora swag a bit better

[Jukka Palander]

Correction.

Here in Spain all the prints especially wants CMYK!

Mostly they want big ads to be "vectored CMYK pdf's. Smaller materials
can be CMYK TIFF.

I myself have also those Pantone maps, and I haven't used them for years
because nobody uses them (anymore)..

Hint for the Inkscape and Gimp developers: CMYK support would be more
than nice addition. As well as Gimp's proper CMYK management and 24bit
channels.. :-)
