That's a very good idea. Last year poster was kind of missing a lot of
relevant information... I have a few comments though:

The list of tracks is outdated (see Stian's email or [1]). In addition,
those are working titles and are not always very clear/well defined, so
they might not be suitable to put on the poster. In particular, if you
are targeting places like Nordstan, I'm not sure many people will be
familiar with those ideas. On the other hand, it's a very good idea to
put an overview of the topics.
One possibility could be to replace each track with a simple sentence or
a question that is tackled in one of the talks.
  E.g. "open space" -> "How to build your own satellite?"
You'll probably have to ask the track managers to come up with a relevant
sentence.

> Improving the knowledge of digital and technological information
Who's knowledge is that? And "knowledge of information" sounds a bit
redundant.
I suggest maybe "Improving your knowledge of digital culture and technology"?

Small stuff:
- The departement of Humanisten -> simply "Humanisten" (it's the name of
  the building)
- Why is October shortened and not November?
- The google url is a bit long to put in a flyer. I made you a shortened
  one: https://fscons.org/vf14
- in this context, I don't understand the difference between attendee
  and participant?
- www.wiki.fscons.org -> just fscons.org, this is also where we will put
  a link to buy the tickets

I think some years we asked the repro service at Humanisten and/or
Chalmers. But there is no obligation there. As long as you get the price
accepted by the treasurer before hand, you can probably use any printing
shop.

Thanks.
