also with these other colors (the new values) and putting it back to "rainbow" theme it was really hard to see the text so to make it "pop" some I used the bolder version of the typeface. personally, I despise the way the colors look now but that could be the fact that the colors look different on my screen than they do to the rest of the world. Maybe a screenshot of how it looks to people would clear up the confusion but its frustrating.
Yoni - I just have to laugh! You need to read the instructions, people's responses and requests, and all of the posts in your thread. Honestly, much of the delay is coming because these things are being missed.brad wrote: If you need any info to complete this task, please send me an email and I am happy to share my IM details with to so we can discuss this.
I did. I have emailed him and we have already gone over his input on gTalk and he had lots of great suggestions and I made changes accordingly. Other than that, he said my brochure looked good and he would follow the thread. I didn't bother responding on the forums because he said to email him. So I did.AmyStephen wrote:Yoni - I just have to laugh! You need to read the instructions, people's responses and requests, and all of the posts in your thread.

Did you see Brad's post in your thread? Recognize him? He's a core team member who has agreed to help you with your questions.
OK. Send him a note and see if he's available. Be prepared with all of your questions for the core team because he doesn't have lots of extra time. Allow him time to work with others, too. It might take a bit.

Meanwhile, I know you are busy with all these issues etc, but I am wondering, when you get a chance, if there is any update on getting additional information about people? (I just like to know what is going on) or am I supposed to be asking Brad for information about the other Core Team members? Finally, how long I should ask for suggestions before I submit my final?Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your points and I think we should have it so it is consistent but since many of the education levels are not mentioned I suppose I should take out who has degrees from where or whatnot. Anyones thoughts on this before I do? When writing these I have been taking the information from their bios which I presume they wrote and included what mattered to them. On the other hand, for consistency's sake, maybe take out the bits about who has degrees and whatnot?guyjosephuk wrote: I think that you need to establish some consistancy with the bio's. If it is relevant to mention one persons education level then it is relevant for all. There are also a few grammar coorections needed
eg
"He also is a longtime member of the Joomla! Extensions Directory "
Should perhaps be
He is also a longtime editor of ...
and
"He started programming at the age of twelve works on a Tandy TRS 80 and has been programming since. "

This concerns me because on my screen the layout is fine. I do not know how to fix a problem I can't see so I dont know how to deal with this....AmyStephen wrote: The layout is not right:
Brad, Shayne, Levis and Michelle - Michelle's bio spills over until the back page.
On the back page:
It says Visit Us At:, then nothing, and after deleting a couple of spaces, I see the URL. Show Joomla.org as the address, absent http:// or www.
Chris, Wilco, Johan, Alex - Alex spills over to next column
Mateusz, Louis, Andy, Sam - Sam's picture and the majority of his text is in next column
Robin, Ole, Pete, Rob - Rob is 100% on the third page.
Most of the odf tri-folds have been like this on my computer. I think it is a font issue, because I use GNU/Linux. Yoni uses a Mac, so that is why it would be like this on a Windows or Linux machine. The pdfs always look fine, though.The layout is not right:

I think what we need to do is have all of the brochure contestants submit the brochure with information on what version of Halvetica they used (Arial, Halvetica, DejaVu) and what OS was used. It shows up differently on every os. If we find that it is due to the fonts, we should consider choosing an open source font for everyone to work with.Maybe all that we can do is have the PDF work - and submit the original - someone might have to mess with it on their system. But, it shouldn't be a huge problem.
These are open source versions of Helvetica.But the brand manual calls for Heleticva
so I was just checking in (since it's technically due today) and seeing what's up and if I have to change it or if i'm done or if we dont know yetAmyStephen wrote: When it's ready, post it on Google, then post in this thread that it is available - with a link directly to the download. I'll look at it, if it's good, then, we will let the core team know to review and approve (or ignore) - so, anticipate at least 24 hours after you post - longer if revisions are required
I don't know too much about the gradient in Oo so i can't help you too much with that but what you could do is do it in something like the gimp, export it as a png, and then have it as a background image. I like what you have it looks great!I like the gradients on other brochures but I do not know how to do this in OO...
Go to the "fill" context menu item of whatever you want to "gradientize". Then, go to the gradient tab, select new, and change the options to your liking. Your new gradient will now be available under the gradient drop down menu item under the "Area" tab.I like the gradients on other brochures but I do not know how to do this in OO...
