Hello Ubuntu Toronto,

As the subject line suggests I have good and bad news regarding the printing.

THE GOOD: The brochure printing got done for less than I expected.

THE BAD: the printing house of campus does not except .odt, so I tried to give
them a pdf, but they were unable to replicate the image as many times on the
page as was needed, as a result the printing was not done (and i did not
think that wasting that much paper was environmentally friendly or cost
efficient.

I may end up get some CD insert printed at home, but that would be maybe 10
pages or so.

Sorry guys that this did not turn out at I had hoped/planed.

-Andrew

This is something we didn't think about, and something I just realized:
the CD inserts are 12cm x 12cm, but a standard page is 21.59cm.
I'm gonna try and resize the inserts to 10x10 and go from there.

At least your a friend of the environment.
