Brochure final layoutHere is the link: ftp://119.63.202.92/pub/postgresql_8-4_brochure.pdf I am happy to create artwork for other languages if you send me the text. I can also help you ensure that printers impositions are provided as required. These can vary from place to place. I’ll also do an A4 version for countries that have ceased using Imperial paper sizes. Should anyone wish to use either of these images: While I am the purchaser, I am effectively an agent of postgresql.org. So they can be used, for example, on PG websites, banners etc. within the wider PG community. If anyone wanted to use those images (e.g. For corporate promotional material), they would have to purchase their own licence from fotolia.com. At six bucks each for hi-res, that will not break the bank but will protect the rights of the copyright holder. I hope you are happy with the brochure. I set it up print-ready, but can provide a copy without crop marks if you wanted to make it downloadable from the postgresql.org or elsewhere. I have also requested quotes from a digital printer in Portland, OR who has done excellent work for me. Their sales guy will contact Josh Friday to give him prices. If anyone wants to get an alternative price, the specs are: 8 1/2" x 11" printed both sides CMYK on A2 art Quantity will be 250, 500, 1000 or 5000 Rob Napier |

Re: Brochure final layoutI'll give you a day or two to get it checked out. When you tell me it is definitely clear to go, I should be able to set it up quickly. Hopefully the fonts will be less of a problem that with Russian. But I may need fonts from you if mine don't work. If anyone has InDesign with Russian please let me know. :) Thanks Rob On 11/7/09 4:49 AM, "Santiago Zarate" <santiago@...> wrote: > I like it :D > > Rob Napier escribió: >> I have been working on the artwork for the new brochure.

The smiley's look a bit weird, with the - and : the opposite way round from normal. I'd be inclined to remove them altogether.

Yeah. Rob is asleep now, though, and I can save $100 if I send this to the printer now instead of next week.

Re: Brochure final layoutThe problem with the smiley's was fixed last night and re-uploaded to our ftp server. The exclamation mark (shriek) is used on both the front and back footnotes. I think it is better left as it is to emphasise that this it IS a joke. Some people just might not get it without some emphasis. It was added after two people in my test market weren’t sure whether it was serious. I like the use of the smiley’s as they give a slightly nerdy connect to a large part of your target market. It is one of a half dozen visual and textural tricks to give the message context and to connect with the reader. Maybe they should have been done in Courier? At the same time what I tried to do was to make the ad a little less serious than other material I’ve seen – to appeal to a wider audience and to make people understand that while PostgreSQL may well be the world’s most advanced open source database, it is also highly accessible for people, whatever their IT background. This has been at the heart of my company’s once:radix project, as is Mike Ellsworth’s Younicycle, and no doubt there are others moving in the same direction. Popularity and ubiquity are key to the success of any open source project. Getting the message right is almost as important as getting the product right. And getting the message right is, in my view, a cornerstone of this advocacy list. Over the years that I’ve been a user of PostgreSQL, I’ve observed a lowering of the high-tech walls that have limited non-geek access to it. I’d like to see that continue. If my view is shared with others, I’m willing to do more to help. So as for the smiley’s: Dave and Josh would like to see them go. Visually, I think the headline works better with them in. If others have a problem with them, I’ll take them out and will re-send the job to the printer. I really don’t mind either way. You’re the client! Object lesson: If enough people think it doesn’t look right, it’s probably wrong. > Very nice. The smiley's look a bit weird, with the - and : the > opposite way round from normal.

Re: Brochure final layoutI have been a victim of MS today. My Entourage has randomly deleted a LOT of my emails. Interestingly, it has taken out all of the Advocacy emails that I’ve ever received. So I don’t have any record of the recent conversation of the Spanish translation. Can someone give me a status report on where it is up to and if it’s right to go, how do I get a copy? I am going to be away on business all week so I’d like to get a copy today (Sunday). Also, a contact in Switzerland, Herber Schwappacher, has kindly done a first draft in German. Do we have anyone to review it? In particular, we need to ensure that the technical terms are correct. 10 Dinge die PostgreSQL 8.4 nicht tun wird :-( Wir baten einige Freunde einer Madison Avenue Werbeagentur uns dabei zu helfen, der Welt zu zeigen, warum der Wechsel zu PostgreSQL 8.4 eine so einfache Entscheidung ist Das war ihr Beitrag: PostgreSQL logo Die fortgeschrittenste Open Source Datenbank der Welt 1. Es zerstört keine Regenwälder 2. Es verursacht keinen Krebs 3. Es schädigt die Ozonschicht nicht 4. Es erhöht die Erderwärmung nicht 5. Es erzeugt keine Akne 6. Es belastet Ihre Leber nicht 7. Es bedroht weder Wale noch sonstige vom Aussterben bedrohte Arten 8. Es verschärft die globale Finanzkrise nicht 9. Es hält Sie nicht vom Singen unter der Dusche ab 10. Es beschleunigt den Zahnzerfall nicht Moral: Will man etwas richtig getan haben, so muss man es selber tun! 10 Dinge die PostgreSQL 8.4 sicher tun wird :-) Wir baten eine unserer Beta-Testerinnen um eine Stellungnahme zu PostgreSQL 8.4. Sie freut sich über die lange Features-Liste - die umfassendste aller Open Source Datenbanken“. Das sind ihre 10 'Must-Haves': PostgreSQL logo Die fortgeschrittenste Open Source Datenbank der Welt. 1. Rekursive Abfragen erlauben den Abruf eines ganzen Web-Forums oder Kommentar-Baumes mit einer einzigen Abfrage. 2. Paralleler Restore holt einen Backup bis zu 8 Mal schneller zurück. 3. Windowing Funktionen führen komplexe Reports mit Subtotalen und Ebenen aus. 4. Neue Query-Monitoring Werkzeuge erlauben eine raschere und einfachere Analyse der Last auf dem Datenbank Server. 5. Die 'Visibility Map' und die Verbesserungen in der Statistik unterstützen den Betrieb von multi-Terrabyte Datenbanken mit PostgreSQL. 6. Erweiterte Syntax und Möglichkeiten für 'stored Procedures' sind einfacher und flexibler im Gebrauch. 7. Kolonnen-orientierte Privilegien machen's einfacher, sensitive Daten zu schützen. 8. pg_Migrator macht den Upgrade von 8.3 nach 8.4 zum Kinderspiel für die meisten Benutzer. 9. Sortierfolge-Unterstützung per Datenbank macht es einfacher, PostgreSQL in mehrsprachlichen Umgebungen einzusetzen. 10 Viele komplexe Abfragen laufen x-fach schneller.
