Hi everyone,

I just fixed the aspect ratio when using pandoc and pushed a fix to
the Makefile. Please regenerate your presentation using the new
makefile if you are using pandoc. For more information about the
issue, read or comment on
https://github.com/sils1297/guadec-presentation-templates/issues/1 .
