I think that we should provide another template as the title bar is too narrow, black bullet is not really funny (I don't find option like we have on Microsoft powerpoint to change the color). REMARK : We should change the font used for ApacheCon2012 Sinheim logo. As you can see (first slide) the characters are too small, elongated. Why don't we use the same font as ApacheCon 2011 in NA ?

It's customary to provide slide masters in PowerPoint and S5, but I don't think we've ever done that in the past - and lots of presenters choose to use their own layout anyway, either to suit corporate purposes or simply because they don't like being told what to do!
