Thanks for the updated flyer.
It's now available on-line at: http://www.balug.org/flyers/2007-11-20.pdf
PDF is "fine" (or at least okay) format, ... and relatively defacto standard for presentation format (generally quite consistent rendering).
For some odd reason though, GIMP (at least version I was dealing with) wasn't handling it okay ... but xpdf (also open source) would render/display it just fine. And as "attachment" is fine too.
Quoting Andrew Fife afife@untangle.com:
I think PDF is pretty common way of sharing documents across various platforms, but if attaching the flyer causes confusion, I'm cool with leaving it off.
The new(er) version of the November flyer is attached. My version of the text is a mix of several people's, but I've included copies in both .pdf & MS Publisher so that folks can make changes if they wish. MS Publisher licenses aren't that common and I don't know of an open source equivalent, but if anyone else does, please let me know and I'll convert & redistribute the file.
I've also added link to the updated flyer on our web page.
And yes, thanks, it does look (read) much better than the earlier version(s) of that flyer.

Excellent, too bad I didn't check my email earlier. It'd be a great posting at CCSF near a computer lab.
I'll try and post such a flyer for January, hopefully I'll start school early enough for people to notice the flyer.
Andrew, excellent flyer design, it should be used as a template for most meetings.
