Hi Daniele,

Nice effort with the brochure.
IMO, what is lacking in the brochure
is "faces/people"and OSGeo/FOSS4G community
is about a bunch of wonderful "people".
"Tools to Use", "Platform to Build on"
and "Communities to Foster".

Perhaps some of the excellent pictures that
Chris posted on flikr could be put to good
use in the brochure.

Also, maybe you could try some better looking
fonts. Take a look at Scribus, I think it is
better suited for making brochure's than
OO-Impress.

Regards

Venka
