Couldn't agree more with Max, this flyer need a lot of freshness. It has well fulfilled it purpose and we should work on a new one. I shall try make a mock-up for a new one, I am thinking something like fedora-one-page-release-notes on a flyer-printable format. More pictures, more fun, more fedora!
