What about as example BSD flyers? The european BSD groups have some
really nice and informant PostgreSQL flyers and on every event they
drop some batches at our booth. Theme is PostgreSQL, of course, but
there's also a part about running PG on BSD in this flyer.

Sounds good to me, in addition we should have flyers ect. somewhere in
a repository or on a website.

Good idea, but the point should be "Informations about PostgreSQL", not
some kind of a fan shop. If you sometimes look at a Debian booth, there
are T-Shirts and other merchandising stuff and you don't even can see a
flyer at all.

I started a discussion about improving the existing directory back in
march, but i'm sorry, i don't had the time to write my ideas done in
code.

Kind regards
