2003-10-11 21:44 airwin * leaflet.cls, leaflet_a4.cls, leaflet_letter.cls: Divide leaflet class into two slightly different classes (one with fold mark suitable for a letter-size and one with fold mark suitable for A4). Also, move fold mark to a more convenient location one mini-page further to the right than the previous mark. 2003-10-11 21:41 airwin * linux_brochure_watermarked.pdflatex, linux_brochure_watermarked_landscape.pdflatex, page123.pdflatex, page450.pdflatex: Utilize geometry.tex file which greatly simplifies and standardizes all the *.pdflatex files for both letter and A4. 2003-10-11 21:39 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Make leaflet style letter or A4 dependent so that can get fold mark position just right. 2003-10-11 21:37 airwin * Makefile: Final changes with regard to A4 functionality PAPERNAME=a4_ when appropriate to identify output files. Deal with two kinds of leaflet_letter.cls and leaflet_a4.cls styles to get fold mark placement just right. geometry.tex dependencies put in correctly for *.pdflatex files and removed from linux_brochure_lug.pdf and linux_brochure_lug.ps targets since those targets are not affected by that file. Get improved proportions of thumbnail and screenshots. 2003-10-11 21:29 airwin * .cvsignore: Tweak 2003-10-11 21:23 airwin * www/: about.html, announce_1.0.0.html, announce_1.1.0.html, documentation.html, examples.html, index.html: Tweak website for a number of changes leading up to and including the release of 1.1.0. * A4 size now allowed. * Both letter and A4 forms of the leaflet style file. * "Linus (A4)" example. * "Linus" form (i.e., generic_world) is now default. * release of 1.1.0. 2003-10-07 21:31 airwin * .cvsignore, Makefile, geometry_a4.tex, geometry_letter.tex, left.tex, linux_brochure.tex, merge4.tex, right.tex: Major reorganization to allow run-time choice (e.g., make PAPERTYPE=a4) of either letter (default) or a4 type of paper. So far only the postscript work has been done, but the results look good, and the pdf implementation should follow soon. 2003-10-07 21:24 airwin * icons/README.icons: Describe left_whitewashed.sk and right_whitewashed.sk 2003-10-07 21:20 airwin * icons/: left_whitewashed.sk, right_whitewashed.sk: Initial commit of two penguin-whitewashed.sk rotated variations (since rotations much easier to deal with in sketch than in latex). left.sk is rotated counter-clockwise by 50 deg and adjusted in size and displacement so that the paper outline would just cut it off as is wanted in the brochure watermark. right.sk is adjusted similarly for a clockwise rotation of 180+50 deg. 2003-10-06 10:18 airwin * Makefile: Tweak to clean www/*~ 2003-10-05 22:54 airwin * www/about.html: Tweak: leaflet ==> brochure 2003-10-05 22:53 airwin * www/index.html: tweak: leaflet ==> brochure in mission statement. 2003-10-05 17:23 beirwin * www/announce_1.0.0.html: Added "Release 1.0.0 is our first stable version of this important Linux publicity tool for LUGs and other Linux organizations" + other minor revisions. 2003-10-05 16:31 airwin * ChangeLog: Update ChangeLog using cvs2cl -l "-d'>2000-01-14'" --stdout > & !

The applications and distributions were done separately, but the vanilla versions (de-Canadianized) simply were the ca versions with the chest whitener and mapleleaf objects removed. 2003-10-05 15:36 airwin * icons/README.icons: links-ca-tux.sk is now deprecated and no longer used, but it still remains under cvs control for a while. 2003-10-05 15:35 airwin * Makefile: Insert targets/rules for thumbnail and screenshot montage images of brochure(s). 2003-10-05 15:33 airwin * .cvsignore: Ignore generated screenshot and thumbnail results. 2003-10-05 15:32 airwin * www/examples.html: Complete rearrangement of examples from list to table form (including thumbnail and screenshot images) plus good introductory paragraph. 2003-10-05 15:29 airwin * www/index.html: Put in customized results paragraph and one row of the "Linus" table showing one particular example of the results. Spelling tweaks. News line for October 5th release of 1.0.0 with link to release announcement. 2003-10-05 15:27 airwin * www/documentation.html: A internal link to the "building" part of the text. Note ImageMagick montage software requirement. 2003-10-05 15:25 beirwin * www/announce_1.0.0.html: Initial commit of the announcement of version 1.0.0. :-) 2003-10-04 19:36 beirwin * lugs/vlug_ca_page.tex: Sort out spacing issues and minor wording issues in Application form. \arraystretch put in {} environment now like documentation says to do. RH column of large table change from centred to right-justified with some tiny spacing at end to line of first "row" (which consists of a table) to line up with end of second "row" (which also consists of a table). Membership App. form combined with new phrase, Please Print Clearly, in their own sub-table with their own spacing to line everything up like CaroLyn wanted. ==> She was right, it does look a whole lot better and justifies her trip from Barbados to Victoria.... :-) c/o in front of street address like the VLUG BOD wanted. gap in line under "@" and @ lined up under W in "Work" in the line just above (again like the BOD wanted, and it does look better that way). 2003-10-04 19:22 beirwin * linux_brochure.tex: Title: powerful and free ==> secure, powerful, and free Paragraph indentation uniformly removed Two spelling tweaks found by eye, but did ispell run afterward to confirm all new material was still okay. Checked (grep -i) all linux/linus variations to make sure they were appropriate ==> no problems. Tweaked wording Tweaked old.lwn.net ==> www.lwn.net All urls in Resources now headed with www. unless that variation of the URL does not exist (e.g., the loll.sourceforge.net site). 2003-10-04 19:13 beirwin * lugs/generic_world_page.tex: Quotes from Linux Torvalds ==> Quotes from Linus 2003-10-04 16:19 beirwin * www/index.html: Final release of 1.0.0 line in news section.

Also, don't clean up these final result versions when you make clean. 2003-09-19 16:08 airwin * www/examples.html: Give access to both vanilla (actually, generic_world) and (VLUG) customized brochures on the website. Before, there was only access to the VLUG version. 2003-09-19 16:05 airwin * .cvsignore: Tweak 2003-09-19 16:00 airwin * lugs/: generic_world_applications_header.tex, generic_world_distributions.tex, generic_world_distributions_header.tex, generic_world_footer0.tex, generic_world_icons.mk, generic_world_page.tex, generic_world_resources.tex, generic_world_title.tex: Initial commit of generic brochure customization files. 2003-09-19 16:00 airwin * icons/: applications-tux.sk, distributions-tux.sk: Initial commit of applications mini-page and distributions mini-page header artwork for generic brochure. 2003-09-17 22:50 airwin * lugs/vlug_ca_icons.mk: Complete reorganization to generate VLUG customized artwork based solely on sketch source files. 2003-09-17 22:20 airwin * lugs/vlug_ca_title.tex: Change title artwork from standard Tux to Canadianized version. 2003-09-17 22:18 airwin * lugs/vlug_ca_distributions.tex: Drop ending period from item since no other item has this. 2003-09-17 22:17 airwin * lugs/vlug_ca_footer0.tex: Drop the "Tux, the penguin shown above, is the official Linux mascot." footnote since it is no longer applicable to Canadianized version of Tux. 2003-09-17 22:15 airwin * linux_brochure_watermarked_landscape.pdflatex: Put in a maximum compression level by default for the linux_brochure_watermarked_landscape.pdf file that is generated by this pdflatex command file. 2003-09-17 22:12 airwin * Makefile: Substantially reorganize so that all icon stuff except for watermark is done in a customized way. Included customized make fragment for generating customized icons is made optional. Move almost completely to sketch-based icons where only the *.sk files are under cvs control and the eps files are generated using $(SK2PS) where SK2PS = sk2ps Put in proper dependency for linux_brochure_watermarked_landscape.pdflatex. 2003-09-17 21:59 airwin * .cvsignore: Tweak 2003-09-17 21:59 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Spelling/grammar tweak: user's ==> users' Drop "also acts as router, gateway, and/or firewall" from server section.

Put in google news groups search in resources. All files: factor the vlug parts of the distributions and resources lists. 2003-07-23 14:55 beirwin * ChangeLog, linux_brochure.tex: linux_brochure.tex: revised Distribution section (first paragraph, moved VLUG distribution info. and distribution lists to end of section). 2003-07-23 11:35 airwin * ChangeLog, linux_brochure.tex: http:// ==> gone to save space. Also, fixed up some trailing slash issues in Resources section. 2003-07-23 11:10 beirwin * ChangeLog, linux_brochure.tex: Revised Resources section; added Online Zine section and improved wording; finalized URLs and wording for now. 2003-07-22 19:11 airwin * ChangeLog: Tweak. 2003-07-22 19:04 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Important changes: * Linux Torvalds ==> Linus Torvalds (ouch!) * Servers section redone. * Other Systems section tweaked. * old 3rd page "How can I get support" ==> Resources and moved to 6th page. * fifth page "Isn't Unix all text and stuff" removed and replaced by "the mosaic of Linux applications" on new 3rd page. * fifth page " What can I run on Linux and X ==> "What applications run on Linux?" 3rd page. Summary old 3rd moved to last, old fifth severely modified and moved to 3rd. 2003-07-22 18:48 airwin * lugs/vlug_ca_page.tex: YAFC (yet another "final" commit).

Makefile: added linux_brochure_watermarked.pdf (and other) targets and rules. Use pdflatex-specific package, pdfpages, to rearrange 3 pdfs onto one page, and overlay pdfs on top of each other for watermarking purposes. page123.pdflatex: created pdflatex source file to collect first group of pdf pages. page450.pdflatex: created pdflatex source file to collect second group of pdf pages. linux_brochure_watermarked.pdflatex: created pdflatex source file to make final watermarked brochure from right.pdf, page123.pdf, left.pdf, and page450.pdf. 2003-07-17 12:13 beirwin * ChangeLog, Makefile: Remove gzip version before creating new one. 2003-07-17 11:57 beirwin * ChangeLog: Initial commit. 2003-07-17 11:50 beirwin * linux_brochure.tex: My first commit. Deleted "very" on page 1. (Strunk and White would be proud!) 2003-07-16 23:56 airwin * Makefile: Completely revised version as settle in on final procedures for creating watermarked postscript brochure file. Also put in good clean list of stuff created by make command that can be deleted if want to re-start from scratch. 2003-07-16 23:52 airwin * .cvsignore: Completely redo in terms of new temporary file names used by greatly revised Makefile and put in "clean" list of same. 2003-07-16 23:44 airwin * leaflet.cls: Initial commit of file generated from download and build of leaflet package from CTAN. Include in cvs for convenience. 2003-07-16 23:43 airwin * left.tex, merge4.tex, right.tex: Initial commits of new specific latex command files to perform, "left" magnify, rotation, and clipping and "right" magnify, rotation, and clipping. Also initial commit of latex file to merge 4 specific eps files (since no postscript utility seems to be able to do the job). 2003-07-16 23:40 airwin * fold_a4.sh, fold_letter.sh: fold scripts no longer needed. pstops invoked directly from within Makefile (and no more a4 variation to confuse issues). 2003-07-16 10:55 airwin * Makefile: epstopdf does a better job of converting eps to pdf than convert (which had boundary box and size problems) so use epstopdf. Tweak commentary as well 2003-07-16 10:32 airwin * Makefile: Move to vector graphics (sketch) source for tux icon on first page. 2003-07-16 10:31 airwin * icons/: README.icons, penguin-icon.eps, penguin-icon.sk, penguin-whitewashed.eps, penguin-whitewashed.sk: Move to vector graphics files for tux icon (penguin-icon.*) and tux watermark (penguin-whitewashed.*) purposes. See notes in README.icons about how sketch was used to create these files. 2003-07-14 19:54 airwin * fold_a4.sh, fold_letter.sh: Convert both these scripts to use landscape mode. However, although result looks good, identify shows there are pagination problems (which is probably source of watermarking problems) so will try to generate folded results with ImageMagick soon rather than these scripts. If that works, than these scripts will be for the chop. 2003-07-14 19:49 airwin * Makefile: Big differences: * Now use ImageMagick rather than libnetpbm9 routines to do transformations. * Now use colour icons rather than monochrome icons. * Prepare icons in this directory rather than in icons subdirectory. * Make big tuxes and watermark.ps image. * Start changes to produce watermarked linux_brochure_watermarked.ps, but still something wrong (probably use of pstops is screwing things up, one thing to try in future is using ImageMagick to do the same thing.) 2003-07-14 19:42 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Revise to use color icons. 2003-07-14 19:40 airwin * .cvsignore: Tweak 2003-07-14 17:21 airwin * icons/: .cvsignore, README.icons, sit3-shine.7.gif: Convert icons directory to source icon files that are processed in the parent directory. This implies .cvsignore is now zero-length. Also, move to colour. This means penguin.eps, the monochrome tux file from Larry Ewing's site is no longer used (but we don't delete it from cvs in case we ever need it again). Also, add the classic coloured tux file from Larry Ewing's site, http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/sit3-shine.7.gif. 2003-07-12 01:39 airwin * Makefile, fold_a4.sh, fold_letter.sh: Create a letter-sized folded version by default (using all target) of the make command, but also by using the specific target linux_brochure_a4.folded.ps also have the possibility of creating an a4-sized version. 2003-07-12 01:35 airwin * .cvsignore: Tweak 2003-07-12 01:33 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Tweak spacing in membership application form 2003-07-12 00:46 airwin * .cvsignore: Tweak 2003-07-11 20:58 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Final tweaks to make a polished form for the brochure corresponding closely (except for resource, app, and distro URL's and annotations which have been updated) to the last paper brochure with date of 20021030. Most further change will be to content plus some reorganization to isolate vlug-specific stuff to make it much easier to tweak the brochure for other organizations. 2003-07-11 20:06 airwin * linux_brochure.tex: Vastly improved form of application form part of brochure. 2003-07-11 16:15 airwin * Makefile, linux_brochure.tex, icons/.cvsignore, icons/README.icons, icons/vlug_big.gif: VLUG logo put into vlug application form. 2003-07-11 13:47 airwin * icons/.cvsignore: Initial commit. 2003-07-11 13:47 airwin * icons/README.icons, icons/penguin.eps, Makefile, linux_brochure.tex: Tux icon for first page of brochure. 2003-07-11 12:45 airwin * .cvsignore, Makefile, linux_brochure.tex: Initial commit. Status: proof of concept (all words of GPLed 20021030 edition input with some URL updates) works for both ps and pdf output for a rotated table (membership application form) in a leaflet. Icons, watermark, some table improvements (horizontal rules) and script for leaflet rearrangement onto two pages still to come to make polished version of 20021030 edition.
