[guadec-list] GUADEC 2015 Presentation Template

[Lasse Schuirmann <lasse schuirmann gmail com>]

Hi everyone,

Adrien Plazas (Kekun) has created a presentation template intended to
be used for this years GUADEC.

We deliberately only created a LaTeX/Pandoc template. It is really
easy to create presentations using markdown and we wouldn't be able to
hack up a similarly nice Open Office template. We made it easy for you
to concentrate on just doing the content and let our Makefile handle
the design (even with live-regeneration on save :)). If you never
tried Pandoc - it is *just great* and now's the best time to do this
[^1].

We'd love it if one or the other uses the template, if you do, be sure
to thank Adrien for his great LaTeX work and Bastien for providing
awesome design feedback!

I'm not part of GUADEC the organization team, here's a proposal for
them: forward this email to the speakers at the conference so they can
use it and we get a nice consistent slide design for the conference.

I will make sure the GSoC students get this for the lightning talks.

Thanks,

Lasse Schuirmann

awesomely nonverbose while incredibly readable and powerful. End of
