Hi, all,
I have started the work on the leaflet describing CentOS Stream, so that we can distribute it at the next CentOS Connect and FOSDEM.
The leaflet is loosely based on the talk I gave at FOSDEM 2022.
What I think I need to make things work:
- I'd like to get a repo in CentOS infra where I can publish sources
of the leaflet (it is LaTeX, btw)
I filed a ticket for this but maybe it is a wrong place:
Once I upload the sources,
- I need folks to review and contribute to them, especially in the
section which mentions SIGs.
Happy to help review this once a draft is available.
It seems the repo became a bottleneck, so I have published the sources to my personal namespace for now

Patches are welcome.
- I need to understand if the pdf format is good enough for printing
the leaflet or there something else we should do to prepare the data?
Yeah, a regular PDF is usually good enough. Some DTP programs can also produce a print-ready PDF (which usually means embedding fonts, using CYMK for pictures and outputting a PDF/X), but that shouldn't matter unless you need perfect fidelity.
Indeed, I wouldn't worry about the quality too much and focus on the content.
- I need someone to print it and bring to Brussels
I may be can use our Düsseldorf office to do it myself, but there might be better ways.
Having done this before, it is _a lot_ easier if we can get something printed on site, rather than carrying a suitcase full of paperwork. Daan (in CC) is local and might be able to help us here -- it's usually a matter of finding a copy shop that's willing to do it. With my Meta hat on -- we're happy to foot the bill for this if needed.
Thanks!
Let's maybe give it a week to work on the text. And aim to get the finalized version by the end of day January 16th.
And then we can look for printing options.
Cheers Davide
