This can be easily updated, what is more dificult is trying to get
back some of these marketing jobs, specially sources files. These
source files makes editing and generating marketing kits more easily.
Other communities like Software freedom day has been pretty good on
launching new marketing kits, or images. OOo days, there was also some
marketing efforts on presenting a similar design for things. Like the
wireframe gull or the waves.
unfortunately oracle's brand refresh of just using 'white' left us
with only the orb as a design element.
Apache hasn't really produce much, even with the logo there are some
missing pieces. So I think is important at least to have something
like brochure sources, newsletters, and such to be able to pull
together some marketing efforts.

we should start to collect the source files of any future used material
in a secure place (svn). Well I would prefer a real CMS but that is
something different.

The marketing wiki as well as the site already has a lot more than a wish
list. But the challenge is some of the deliverables which were not always
uploaded to the oo.o domain. Specially since source files were more like
versions and revisions, so they were put to temporary file sharing sites or
personal websites.
I have been talking with drew about some of the flyers we used in the past
for some events at SCALEx6 on 09.

Would it make sense to start, maybe on a wiki page, a list of what you
think we need? A "want list". I know that doesn't sound like it
accomplishes much, but that list would be very useful. It gives other
volunteers a framework that they can think of and see how they might
contribute.
