Cool - when I went to start I looked at the template you posted on the wiki, way back when - rather expected you might pick that one back up and run with it though, so went for the more Baroque No-1_Green. It's huge and maybe I can trim it, which I'll put a few more days into, but your right on the points and the more trimmed down model makes sense for most uses. Anyway sometimes it's fun to be meat eater..*chuckle*, and I'll make use of it somehow I suspect. > > So, I created (with the small laptop screen and an even smaller > touchpad ... grmbl) another proposal which has been added to the > proposal page: > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ConferenceTemplates > > Or directly: > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Proposal_LibOConf2011_Template.odp > > Still a draft, but should work already: > * based on some motif examples by Nik > * added overall asymmetry due to the conference logo design and > the non-tagline logo layout (some may remember the nice LibO > postcard idea created by Nik) > * the template contains four master page definitions (first slide, > section header, default slide, final slide) incl. footer > elements, styles definitions and details like font substitution > > Feedback (especially technical stuff) highly appreciated :-) I like it - are you going to bring in some of the secondary colors, as you did in the earlier template then? > > [...] > > One word of advice: > > - do use the existing conference logo and the full logo of LibreOffice tsk tsk... > > Mmh, it seems that I've missed that requirement - I simply haven't read > your mail in detail ;-) However, my gut feeling told me that the > LibreOffice non-tagline logo is more appropriate here (presentations > will contain personal statements) ...
