Leaflets
Hi all. Last year we were awarded an OSMF microgrant to produce some leaflets. We'd like to get going with this now. The pitch we put forward proposed 5 different designs. Please can you let us know what topics are worth covering (one topic per leaflet design as these are small A6 leaflets of 130-150 words maximum). We will then produce these and post them out.

Here is an example flyer (just one side) that covers the basics. Feedback welcome.

To who will the flyers be posted out to?

Any individual who wants some. We also can send a batch to groups.

I try to carry the classic small OSM leaflets but I think they're outdated.
It doesn't easily answer...
"Why does the map need to be updated (by volunteers/community)?"
"When and where will you see the changes?" (maybe similar to Rob's "using OSM on your smartphone" suggestion).
Something simple about editing/helping the map might also be good. Short of full OSM involvement.
"How can I point out something is wrong?" as a guide to using the Notes feature on the website.
Or how to use apps like StreetComplete to provide the map with more information.

Another draft. This for the photo mapping topic. Let me know your feedback on the attached file please.

What other topics shall we create leaflets for?

Here's one for mobile editing and apps. As before, I look forward to your feedback (and I spell checked it this time Gregory so hopefully no typos!)

I think I am going to have a go at doing a community groups and events leaflet instead of one of the bottom two bullet items at the top of this thread. Will post a draft here. Meanwhile I am after images for the reverse side of the flyer. Any good examples?
