I am planning to start the DTP process after some days so please provide your inputs by the next 7 days.
brochure as such is now more or less ready. Now we need to jazz it up for marketing. I think rony said A4 with two folds. Which gives front cover, back cover, and 4 pages for matter. Front cover needs to have minimal matter with some slogans - things like, No-Virus, No Upgrade Charges -Stable - 40,000 software packages. The back cover needs resources like where to get CDs, some hardware specs - maybe a small box for 'Linux Friendly Hardware Vendor' where vendors can put their address stamp.
As for DTP part, the simplest way is to start scribus and choose one of the two brochure templates and modify it. Since we have two draft brochures, we can work on both at the same time. Once the two are finalised we can do the translations - i can guarantee tamil, and I suppose Marathi and Gujarathi will follow automatically. Is hindi needed? I would suggest that the local language translations follow what is done in the local language translations of popular domestic appliance manuals - less of classic language and more of english terms mixed in - as parthan said - like how people talk.
