(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Nice flyer. One comment:
Puppy Linux:Unleashed your computer!
is gramatically incorrect

"Puppy Linux:Unleash your computer!"
would be better

afgs,

It may be the PDF viewer I use, but in printing out the landscape version the 'paw prints' end up on a white background and the printing in front of them is hard to read. It shows good in the readers on screen.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your advices.
I've made some refinements on the flyers, including version 2 (of each) which uses less ink to print.

Sorry, the connection broke when I was uploading the Puppy landscape flyers.
Here they are. Hope they print well.

vs. 2 has better font for visual scanning.

perhaps the column on the lower left would be easier to track either right or left aligned, i've read that centering should be reserved for titles and headings. or perhaps it's fine.

the thumbs in the upper left are maybe a bit pixallated.

a nice sharp 90 deg angle in the upper left might help square it all off.

the dog is in a position that sort of has it's crotch projected at the viewer. some people might get turned off by that. some people see pics, some words.

speaking of words, what does "and no auditors" mean? that's the only part that didn't make sense to me.

Revised version

Thanks MGFox for helping me revised it.

Besides the computer shows in the area about every 10 weeks, San Antonio College puts on an 'Open Source Fest" each October. I am working on a Over View of Puppy to present.

So far the reception of Puppy at the computer shows has been very positive.

If any one is in the San Antonio, TX area May 10, the next computer show will be at the Live Oak civic Center. The San Antonio Linux Users Group will be showing off graphics packages. I will be running several under Puppy. Right now I plan to use 3.01, but if 4.0 is operational on my computers I will try that.

The 2009 Open Source Fest at San Antonio College is at this link:

I will be doing a session on Puppy Friday night.

We still promote Puppy at the local computer shows:

March 14, May 30, Aug 29, Nov 14, Dec 12 2009 at the Live Oak Civic Center.

Good luck

Ed,

How about a shot of the PETget showing how to add packages, on slide should do.

Well I have added a slide (7) which shows software being added
Enclosed is the latest ODP presentation if you wish to modify

Due to construction at San Antonio College the dates on the Open Source Fest will have to be changed. PLEASE watch the link for the new dates. I will also try and post them when they are avaliable.

For the May 30th computer show we hope to show off programing packages and computer controled devices.

Been a while. The next Computer Show is Dec 10, 2011, Live Oak Civic Center near San Antonio, TX. We are still showing off Puppy as well as the other Linux distributions and get a number of return visitors. The Xmas show is where we try and show off Linux aimed at the younger set.

Our Dec 14, 2011 meeting is our Xmas party. See satlug.org for how to get to our meetings at Rackspace.

The exotic computer group, xcssa.org , normally joins us for this, come meet all the 'Geeks'.

The next show is Sept 29, 2012. Stop and visit us if you can make it.

The next Computer Show is December 8, 2012.

This may be the last Computer Show in the San Antonio area as the City of Live Oak has sold the building to a company that is going to put small retail shops in.

The company that puts on the shows also put on shows in the Oklahoma area and they get a lot more traffic at those shows. They are not looking for an alternative location for San Antonio.
