Removed the heading, but I can't figure out how to add a template
field (or whatever it is called) for a subtitle. If anybody knows I
will redo it.

This is a great idea, I thought some of the paragraphs some the
marketing-pfd's (What is Gnome?, What is the Gnome project?) in
colored boxes :) But I'm not very good in writing something up, I you
have some ideas, please tell me and I'll design something up.

I kinda like them, but I also thought about the background from one of
the marketing-pfds (a light-gray really big gnome-foot in a circle) if
somebody has a picture, I'll add it, otherwise I create one from the
svg's on the marketing page.

That's right, I always run out of place when doing my own
presentations. However a light-gray background-text is also possible
if anybody feels the need to add something (like a copyright
statement).

Please send more advices so that I can improve them further.


I have made two new templates, one with the Blue-Hills picture from
developer.gnome.org and one with the Sunset-Tree from gnome-india.


Perhaps the blue one can be made the default for
developer-presentations and the green for user presentations. For the
tree? I dont know.


I however think we need at least one presentation template with
deep-red for more "aggresive" marketing presentations.


The NEW templates are located at:

header image needs reworking, it's more of a draft than the others:

Please keep sending advice and I try to improve the templates.
