Hi, a long while ago I offered to print any poster for LinuxTag mailed to me... Anyway, I've checked out Joeys posters and I do like overview-general/debian.tex and update/update.tex[1] but there's a small problem with it: only the Acrobat-Reader (yuck!) is capable of printing on our A0-printer without producing strange borders :-( As you all may know, acroread doesn't load .ps-files despite the fact that it should understand PostScript... If I use pdflatex instead of latex I get errors like "Non-PDF special ignored!" and both the background and the images (!) are missing. ps2pdf sucks as well because it punches out an A4-sized part of the poster and converts just that. I'll try to find an option to resize the stuff to A4 in the next hour (the printer automagically scales everything to A0)... Anyway, right now I'm printing the following posters: http://helics.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/doc/pos.pdf http://hal.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~thimo/Maps/devels.pdf http://hal.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~thimo/Maps/worldmap.pdf It's two versions of the world-map because I don't know yet[2] how each version will look in A0. Why do I tell you this? First of all, please have a look at [1] to find errors/corrections and tell me. Also tell me if we need more posters and in this case, send me files. We don't want to have a white-only booth, do we? By the way, please have a look at http://www.de.debian.org/events/materials/posters/. Should we print one of them as well? Modifications? CU Thimo [1] Joey sent the URL to the posters quite a while ago: http://cvs.infodrom.org/goodies/posters/?cvsroot=debian [2] Printing an A0-poster needs about 20 minutes and the printer is in annother building... -- Thimo Neubauer <thimo@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 frozen!
