My apologies for the late reply. I made a few corrections to the 
brochure, but, unfortunately, in my haste, I erased my notes on the 
changes twice, so, here is my corrected version with included notes (in 
the file itself). Just briefly speaking I;

* closed up the spaces (gaps) in the sentences by moving/adding/ text to 
some sentences. This just reshuffled the sentence enough to close the 
white space.
* did a few corrections (sorry I lost track of these). One that does 
stick our is "open-source", we should sync with the docs team and use 
their spelling which seems to be "open source" ... there was the choice 
of "open-source" or "open source" or "opensource". Myself, if the word 
is used as an adjective, I favour "open-source" but it used as a noun 
"open source", but, this is not usually applied as a definitive grammar 
rule so "open source" would seem to be the next logical choice 
application of all the three.
* removed any extra spaces between words and after periods where not 
needed. The extra spaces affect the line spacing when using "justified" 
text format. I also tried to close up any discernible rivers when I saw 
them. For those of you who need an example of "rivers" of space in text, 
you may see this here.[1]

I have a left a copy of the brochure here for the marketing team to look 
at before we call it a final version[2].

Cheers,

Marc
