When I wrote the original mail I had a little bit different picture in my
mind, since I want to create something for 'not so newbies' also. Something
closer to the idea of Talking points [1]
As I understand Robyn suggested to create a certain workflow which will
give as relevant and up-to-date information about Fedora Features. And I
think it could be nice to add the step of creating flyers into this
workflow.
I have created the ticket for the template desing at Fedora Design tracker
[2]. Feel free to comment there.

Hello all!
I think the QR idea is great, specially if we want to direct people into
contribute or know more about a specific topic (ex, the design flyer QR
should link to the Design team wiki page, and stuff like that...)
Now, about answering the question "what's Fedora and what's Linux?" in
a
single flyer I see that at the end, there will be too much content and we
might need a 2x2mts flyer. then let me offer you guys an option... What
about a video that explains the difference and where users can identify
themselves (which will also reduce the time that you spend explaining each
one and will let you reach a bigger audience) and then, deliver the
specific(s) flyer(s) that can make this person get really interested in
Fedora?
Now; if we want to get even more crazy... what if we develop a simple
website/web-app that let users select their profile and their personal
data?
ex.
Profile such as: student or professional, designer or coder... if
designer? photographer, music or all? ... and go on
Personal such as: NA, LATAM, APAC or EMEA? Housewives or Police? if
Housewife, how many Pc's are at your house? are yours? tablet? etc...
At the end, probably in 6 months of release parties and other events, we
could not only be able to identify what audience do we reach the most (or
which users are more interested), but also a demographic about the
situation and how does our users make use of the tools that we are
offering. This might sound crazy, but I guess that at almost each community
there is someone with a Tablet that can be used as "our touch device for
users help" (touch please... no click click :D )
Anyway, some random ideas :)
