<p>Hi - Here in California/USA Adobe products are certainly very
popular, and I use them myself (old purchase). However, the FOSS
desktop publishing suite Scribus also gets good reviews. Is it
truly the only forward, to use inDesign for the brochures? The
fonts can be used in any case.</p>
<p> cheers --Brian <br>

<div>Astrid you mentioned wanted to update the osgeo
brochure last year, and we did not have any members
available with access to InDesign. The economics of using
scribus did not work out for us (when we had access to a
graphic designer it was better to use a WYIWYG tool to
take advantage of their training).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would be willing to do the update, if the marketing
committee was able to provide an InDesign license. In the
past I purchased proprietary fonts when they were mandated
by our logo design, however InDesign is a more expensive
commitment.</div>

<div>a) InDesign US$239.88/yr</div>
<div>b) InDesign US$31.49/mo, only subscribe when needed?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another good approach is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>c) Contact GetInteractive and set up a time and
materials contract</div>
<div>d) Ask on our mailing list if anyone else has access to
InDesign and would be willing to do the work.</div>

<div>Please reply with your preference, and any
discussion. I feel we should make a motion this
calendar year while we have marketing budget to
work with.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>aside: I was able to make use of scribus for
some of our one page handouts, porting content
from a number of projects for a consistent
appearance. It was a very frustrating learning
curve, but I think I can safely update these now.</div>
