(Removed gentoo-trustees from addressees as I'm not subscribed)

I've got a fairly simplistic flyer focusing on the cluster group that
could be updated
( http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/cluster/LWE-cluster-01-2004.pdf ),
and I can make up a flyer, some slides for a presentation, or whatever
for the desktop project, given some advance notice of a deadline. Those
seem like two areas that people are generally becoming more interested
in as Linux moves forward. It might be nice to have something talking
about our embedded and cross-compiling work too.

Obviously the generic "Gentoo features," maybe compare & contrast will
be a good idea too. But there simply won't be enough space to cater to
people interested in specific areas rather than just looking at another
distribution.

I'd be happy to help with any work on creating or proofreading flyers if
they don't yet exist. In fact, I'd hate to see us publish anything
without my eyes seeing it. As far as I know, I'm the only person
involved with Gentoo who has spent time as a professional copy editor.
My design skills are reasonable too, but I'm not going to pretend I'm a
professional there.

Thanks,
Donnie
