Michael,
Love them! Where are the ads going to be used? I am looking forward to
starting to build out a set of presentations with the same "look and feel"
as we continue to preach the gospel.
BTW, I moved up from Portland to Whidbey Island a couple of months ago and
now that I am in the Seattle area I would love to hook up in person to talk
OSGeo. Send me an email sometime when you get a chance so we can talk.
Aaron

The one-page ad page will be used for tradeshow bag inserts, large show
posters, conference programs, etc.
The "datasheets" will be used for generic handouts.
Also, all you open-source, free-love, hippie-freaks should be aware that
we'll be getting a PowerPoint template from him, not an OpenOffice
template. We'll have to cobble that together ourselves, shouldn't be
hard.
(John requested I get him a "better" background for the slides template.
I've got lots of raw air/sat imagery I can use, but nothing with
vectors... got a fave dataset you'd like to suggest?)

I'm used to porting ppt into openoffice, no worries there!
Does he want a map-style image for the background or something abstract?

Converting PPT into ODP does not work out of the box...
in fact it needs cleanup (not surprisingly, since PPT isn't
documented).
So I hope that the openoffice templates will be polished
files.
Thanks

That's what I mean by porting...taking care of the niggly little bits to make the templates work. I've done it a lot for my former job.
It seems like too much to expect a proprietary design shop to know how to push out openoffice .odp. Next time we might want to consider design help from a firm that perhaps is more familiar with open technologies, but the cost/benefit for us to have them produce it would likely have been less valuable. Then we will have OSGeo members who ask us for .ppt files for their presentation and we are back at square one...
Besides, I see all these templates, ads, etc. as simply patterns that we can adopt or steal parts from in the many ancillary uses that we will come up with. So I don't worry too much whether they are perfect out of the box - rather, I most care that we have accessible vector formats and layouts that we can hack apart as needed. We are the bridgeware!
My two bits on formats.
