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. //www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/VOTE-Haiku-flier-funding-was-Haiku-flier-reprint,1 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.
