Matt said, in one post, that if the flyer:
A) met BOD design approval ( they want to see the artwork first & make changes)
B) was free for all to print and use ( Creative Commons license )
C) acceptable cost ( I put this one in )
D) Met deadline

That it would be approved and paid for.

Working with Haiku Inc. means you have to e-mail them directly to discuss
what they will or will not pay for and give them a few days to decide.  They
have both contact form and e-mail address to get in touch with them directly.

BOD members were selected because very active in the community and 
represent Haiku fairly.  Whether 35 or 6 people vote matters not if they 
vote (think) the same way as the community.

Jorge, you have to be in control and create conflict.  That is why I doubt they
will ever let you in BOD even with all the work you do for Haiku which is lots.


SIMPLE SOLUTION:

Agree to let Haiku Inc make/suggest any changes to final artwork,
release under open style license, do flyer for reasonable price and figure out
what deadline they want you to meet and then it'll happen.

I believe the consensus is for creating and giving out flyers at conferences
and Jorge is qualified in doing this so let's make it happen guys.
