Its not David Welton who works on the flyer.
Its Davide Dettori - davide.dettori (at) nekhem dot com.
Sure he can work on the flyer if he wants but the question
is if the flyer will be spread at the booth if it will be ready
for LT?

Thanks for telling me that. I didn't know it.:(

Sure. You are right. But there isn't any time to learn both.

I didn't wrote that.

And you need time for it which we haven't.
There are 4 possible ways:
1. we use the outdated flyer from LT 2000
2. we don't use any flyer
3. we try to make the flyer from Davide ready
4. someone will make a flyer with pure free software
I prefer 4, 3, 2, 1
Joey prefer 4, 1, afaik
If nobody will do job 4 because of limited time what
will we do?
