[Projects] please create a new project flyer for your project with the new branding till FOSS4G Boston

[Bart van den Eijnden]

I'm trying to do this in InkScape but I'm not savvy in it at all, and 
struggling.

Would it not be easier if projects just provided the text and someone 
InkScape savvy would do the actual SVG editing?

Best regards,

Bart
