[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Presentation Template

[Nathan Handler]

Hello,

I recently had an idea for a new art-related project. We have members of the
community giving presentations all of the time (at LoCo events, conferences,
etc). Currently, there is no Ubuntu presentation template that these users can
use. Debian has discussed this idea at DebConf in the past [1], and they have
created some great designs. I think it would be great if we could attempt to
do something similar for Ubuntu. If we do this, I think we should focus on
LaTeX Beamer and OpenOffice.org Impress, which appear to be the most popular
methods of creating presentations on Ubuntu. I wanted to know if any members
of the Art team would be interested in working on this project. I would be
glad to help in any way possible, but I am definitely not creative or
artistic enough to create a theme from scratch. I would also like to hear any
other ideas/suggestions you might have about this project. I personally think
that if we could come up with a decent template, it would greatly benefit the
Ubuntu community.

Thanks,
Nathan Handler
