I'm Joe Ward, editor of a small neighborhood newsletter in Louisville, Kentucky. For some years I've been trying to recruit and train a successor for when I move on from this volunteer job. It has been a real obstacle to my progress that the good layout programs all cost a lot of money. People are willing to help their neighborhood, but not if it costs $200 or more.
     I heard about Scribus, so I downloaded it, and with the help of a lot of people in the online user community, I managed to learn enough in a couple of weeks to get the first newsletter out using it. Then I got a second one out, and found a woman interested in having a look at what would be involved in being editor. She had been putting out an even smaller newsletter, using Microsoft Word.
    She immediately fell in love with the way Scribus does things such as permit you to link text boxes, even when they aren't on the same page. She has remained enthuastic, and now does chores faster than I can assign them to her. Scribus, Inkscape and the GIMP all have a bright future with our organization, the Crescent Hill Community Council.

Subject: [Inkscape-user] I need Inkscape success stories from everywhere

Hi there!
I want to introduce Inkscape to the SENA office here in Cartagena de Indias. The SENA is the national service for training people in several trades. The goal is to convince them to try Inkscape and use it as the program of choice for graphic design courses. I have got technical info and examples, now I need all your Inkscape success stories from everywhere -specially on developing countries and Latin America- about Inkscape achievements and use in working, running business and being involved in big events or campaigns.
By the way, a database of succes stories should be built.
