imag1narynumber,

You're referring to the KDE booklet for handing out at booths right?  Or at
least that is what you had contacted me to help with.  This is a different
thread.  We're talking about the 4.5 release day announcement here...the
booklet text you were working on should indeed be in a Google doc as we had
a ton of pictures embedded in that and never did port it over to etherpad
for that reason. So I don't think your work has not been wasted ;-)

thanks,
Justin
