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

[Jody Garnett]

Bart, and everyone, InkScape is not working out as a tool (it uses a newer
version of the SVG standard which has different rules about fonts).

If you use boxy-svg.com you should be able to edit okay with much less
frustration!

Luca is coordinating some printing with the graphics designer now, the
print job is being submitted in a couple of hours. For anyone else Luca can
arrange printing locally in Boston.

Strategically it is far more important for projects to fill in their
details for the beta website and to attend the code-sprint for training.
