Ok, a résumé of the situation:

* Jack should have translated my physical press kits by now.
* I asked the Art team to recreate these press kits in Scribus one week
ago, not much going on since then. It's in the design service queue on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService

We have 2 choices now if nothing moves quickly:
* Send me the English texts and I'll create the PDF files from my Adobe
InDesign source (my trial version still hasn't expired), we can always
recreate the models in Scribus later.
* Use Paul's press kit for the F11 release and only use the new ones for
F12.
