 > For the flyer, my (coinflip) humble opinion is that we should consider
 two things. First is that on the back of the page, we should always have a
 major feature at the top of the middle section since it'll be the back of
 the folded flyer.

 We could do this - shouldn't be too difficult. I've copied the layout from
 the old fedora generic flyer which had the "mailing lists and irc" etc.
 information at the back for this draft version.

 on paper reading) or a clean (i.e. Liberation Sans or similar), sans-serif
 as the copy text font.

 Ah, makes sense. I've made some versions with other fonts too:

 - cantarell - https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/fedora-flyer-workstation
 /fedora-flyer-workstation-cantarell.pdf
 - latex default, so computer modern - https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org
 /fedora-flyer-workstation/fedora-flyer-workstation-default-latex.pdf
 - nimbus-sans, an improved version of helvetica (which is supposed to be
 the best font for printing apparently) -

 > I'd take a stab at an edit, however I've never used latex and I would
 guess I would end up making a complete mess out of an attempt to move
 anything around.

 Well, it's actually really easy, and the worst mess you'll make is that
 some text won't show. I'll write up a README documenting how one can
 tinker with the file :)
