Thread: New Run of 4-Page Business Case?
All, Noel has offered to do a new run of the 4-page Business Case brochure which Fujitsu designed for our use, and we are out of. Do we want more of these? If so, how many? This is a piece targeted at the "suit" crowd. --Josh Berkus

What software? It's always possible someone has a copy somewhere, unless of course, it's something internal to Fujitsu. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
Josh If you have a PDF, it CAN be converted into artwork that can be manipulated. I'd be happy to do that if you would like it done.

As I recall, I requested that they be delivered to the PG Booth. Never got feedback from anyone - so maybe they ended up in the trash - which would be unfortunate as they are expensive to print. If more or needed, let me know. If Noel(??) wants to do it - I probably have the source file around.... Illustrator, I think. It's probably on the site somewhere, already. Thanks, Mike

No, it was just something more oddball and expensive that Illustrator as I recall. Also, we don't really have *time* to modify it; I need to get design to Noel by Friday AM if we want it printed. --Josh Berkus

Created 11/30/06 with a last mod date of 4/26/07. Modifying it & using to create a decent pdf was a bear & seems to be irrelevant anyway. -- Mike Ellsworth

Cheers, David (thinking we maybe should be dialing back the amount of disposable stuff we should be handing out in general) -- David Fetter <david@fetter.org> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: david.fetter@gmail.com iCal: webcal://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/people/david74/tripit.ics Remember to vote!

It's been a popular piece. --Josh Berkus
