I can't answer this. How does the presentation work?

I'd prefer people to download it and make their improvement, and only those
who don't have svn writing access contact with me in order to upload the
changes.

I used LibreOffice, but I guess OpenOffice is fine too.

uhm..  I'm not really the right person to give tips on any graphical stuff.
Whoever put hands on the poster and follow their own instinct will produce
a better outcome :)

No idea, we print them in-house. It really depends on the paper used.

I used the content of the presentation, just put them in the shape of a
poster. I didn't create any new art-work. So whatever license has the
presentation, the same should be applied to the poster, hence cc-by works
fine to me.

Yes. the poster reflects the state of OSGeo-Live 6.0. Sorry I didn't have
time to update it lately. As I said I just took the stuff from the
presentation, at that time.
