Needless to say, since then I've been completely rushed off my feet trying to make Rosegarden safe to demo to people who actually know shit about audio, and I've had time to do very little. I did look around for some more quotes and establish that getting short runs of more than one design of flyer printed is indeed vastly more expensive than getting longer runs of one design. For example, Azimuth Print quoted me over £260 (plus VAT) for 1000 each of four A6 designs single-sided on 150gsm, compared to £120 for 5000 of a single design double-sided on 300gsm. Given that we don't actually have fancy colour designs ready anyway, I had considered whether to instead do a set of four or so mono A6 sheets each with one "screed", i.e. short bit of plain text espousing some aspect of the software in a vaguely marketing-y style. Without screenshots, these could be simply laser printed on high-quality paper (I have a laser printer and a new cartridge is cheaper than a run of flyers...) and guillotined up at the local print shop. Here is an example with two possible screeds: http://rosegardenmusic.com/tmp/linux-screed.pdf Let me know what you think (most urgently of course with regard to any factual errors, but also whether too dull, too worthy, not worthy enough etc). I'd probably re-do a short run of the existing Rosegarden colour flyer too, but that would be a bit separate. (I'm also not quite sure what material we're expecting from AGNULA?) Chris
