I'm willing to either (a) take suggestions on what should be changed 
(note that for the English-language flyer we already rotated the globe 
on the front page to show the US, assuming that the flyer would be used 
on both sides of the Atlantic...) and make the changes myself, or (b) 
send someone the SVG and let them work it in Inkscape (I believe it's in 
SVN already but would have to check if that is the latest version).

Then, for producing the flyer, there's the option of having our 
publisher sponsor it (condition - our book mentioned in about the same 
way it is now); this would mean that someone in the US would have the 
flyer printed (I'd advise on which online print shop to use and so on), 
take delivery of the goods, invoice our publisher for printing cost plus 
a shipping advance, then send out the flyers in small(er) quantities to 
interested members of the US community - all the operational details 
e.g. how often shipped, what quantities etc. would be at the discretion 
of whoever does it. - This is the mode we're using in England.

Or alternatively, do it without our publisher, just print whatever you 
want, wherever you want, and let OSMF-US pay for it. I have nothing 
against the original flyer being used as a basis for that if someone 
wants to.

Bye
Frederik
