Re. Corel Draw: No, I don't have it.  Notice that I looked at the
.pdf files, not the .cdr files.  (^&

But, I have a brother who might have Corel Draw (I think he does;
I'll call him later today).  I might be able to get him to fix up
the file.

In the longer run, it may be a bad idea to have advocacy materials
in a primary format that is difficult for most NetBSD users to use
and maintain.

Fixed. Please find the PDF here:

If it's okay, I can upload the CorelDraw file as well.

If anything, please do so - The CD file is the source of the PDF, and only
it can be modified in the future.

There's no description of the pmppc port.
Please see /sys/arch/README.

Suggest something better (and redo the poster in it).
I started with FrameMaker on the poster, but found it not dealing with
paper bigger than DIN A4 properly, so tried Corel Draw and found it very
nice. If you can find something better, go for it!

Ah, DTP was never my area.  As long as there's an active person who
is able and willing to work with Corel Draw.  I was getting the impression
that the files were orphaned.

Um...does it really matter if FrameMaker knows how big the paper is going
to be?  Why not lie to it and rescale the image just before going to
paper?

(I started to take a peek at an alternative, but nothing useful to report
yet.  (^&)

I am reworking the 2nd poster (hardware overview) in LaTeX now. 
I've compiled an alpha PDF-Version (only a few pictures are in it) 
which is available at 
http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~steschum/poster.pdf

The poster is now in DIN A2 but it can easily be resized to DIN A4/A3  
and there is also an A0poster.cls available. (but no printer ;-)

It would be nice if someone could check it.
