Attached is a 3-panel brochure draft that I worked up. I have to tweak some of the spacing, grammar, spelling and what not, but I figured I would post here to get some feedback.

Are talking about specific verbiage within the document or are you talking about the document in general?

The document in general.

Hi Dennis,

I highly appreciate your work....!! You have got a talent (Technical documentation) with which you can contribute to the Trisquel project.

I have a few suggestions regarding the brochure.

Replace:-
[1] Gnome with GNOME.
[2] Trisquel GNULinux with Trisquel GNU/Linux.
[3] liberty and Free Software with libre/free software.
[4] Linux-based with GNU/Linux-based.
[5] Ubuntu kernel with Linux kernel.
Please remove the Ubuntu trademark from the Brochure. We don't want to promote ourselves on the wings of a proprietary trademark; Its uncalled ethically.

>> Make it free-as-in-freedom please?
Did you mean this, when you answered Dennis?

EDIT: And please distribute this brochure under a free license. You may use GNU GPL, GNU FDL or Creative Common's CC-BY / CC BY-SA licenses for that purpose.

Welcome to Trisquel community....!!

Glad you like and thanks for the feedback (Ubuntu Kernel....ha I know better. I shouldn't stay up so late. :) ). I have made most of the updates already. I will apply the Creative Commons license and re-post the updated version along with the .sla file tonight.

If there are any other such projects going on, I am always willing to help.

Try to use a light background for printing. This will also make the FSF logo more visible.

Also, you can try other fonts, you can find a lot of freely licensed fonts here and here.

When I get this one out, I will probably make a couple variations of it. Thanks for the links, I am sure I will use them.

It's beautiful! You should stick this in the documentation.

Is there space to add a big Trisquel logo to the top? Right now, the the reader will see the Ubuntu logo first. Could you add a brief libre license message at the bottom somewhere?

Yes per lap4fsf I have removed the Ubuntu Logo and will add a Creative Commons License. I will re-post the updated version tonight.

Be sure to choose a free culture Creative Commons license, like CC0 1.0, CC BY 3.0/4.0 or CC BY-SA 3.0/4.0. Bonus point: CC0 1.0 and CC BY 4.0 are compatible with the GPL.

As promised. Attached is the updated version with feedback included. Also attached is the .sla (source) file used to create the .pdf. The .sla is a Scribus file.

Feel free to post where ever you all see fit.

Great! Here's a few comments

- I notice that Arial is embedded (according to Okular), isn't that a problem?

- I guess we could change all the links from http to https, except the thinkpenguin one

- typos: accleration, GNULinux, idealogy, idealogy, effeciently, proctecting

- I wonder if this complies with https://www.gnome.org/logo-and-trademarks/
