[CC-czech] Czech License Draft in Public Discussion - next steps ?

[Marek Tichy]

Dear Michelle,
I'm glad we are getting close to the D-Day.
One quick question - we are preparing some printed promotional
materials, and  in order not to reinvent the wheel, rather remix and
reuse :-),  I wanted to ask if there are any print quality graphics or
even complete leaflets for translation we could use  ? Specifically we
will be producing a post card (since we have some other promo material
in this format, and possibly a 3 fold leaflet).
I have tried to search around but couldn't find any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 Marek

PS: I've noticed you have announced the launch date on the
creativecommons.org. That's great, thanks
