My understanding was some people wanted it updated to be reprinted and  
passed out at Super Happy Dev House 3D.

InDesign can only save to its own proprietary format, and only export  
to (mostly) uneditable print formats, such as PDF. I haven't looked  
into what open source solutions are out there that'll accept the  
InDesign format.

I know how to use InDesign, I more or less grew up with it in one form  
or another (Aldus PageMaker). Sadly I don't have time to learn how to  
use another tool (such as something more open source). If someone else  
feels like taking over ownership on the pamphlet and would like to use  
something different to edit it, I wouldn't mind at all.
