Create NetBSD slide templates (Latex)
The NetBSD Project
Status: Closed
Time to complete: 144 hrs
Mentors: Radoslaw Kujawa, Julian Coleman, Julian Fagir
Many people are used to using the Latex typesetting system beamer package for presentations instead of OpenOffice.
Thus, you should convert the OpenOffice template created in the according User Interface task to a Latex template.
You should do the OpenOffice template task prior to this one, but you can also start directly with the Latex template.
This task is also a great chance to get used to the Latex package beamer or to Latex at all, it is usable for any presentations in school or university. So don't hesitate if you don't fulfill the prerequisite, if you want to learn, you can relatively fast do it and then complete this task.

Could you please be more specific on the explanation?
Perhaps you should take a look at task about creating OpenOffice slides first.
This task is about converting whatever will be created in OpenOffice into LaTeX. OpenOffice slides are not done yet.
I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Spinacz95. You have 144 hours to complete this task, good luck!
You might want to look at some example slides that were used before. Like from this years EuroBSDcon tutorial (source, PDF).
Hi,
the OpenOffice slides are finished: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7949208
Having the same style would be fine, but if you want to be creative, you could create your own style as well.

I made presentation in LaTeX but now I'm trying to change style. I am not having ideas how i can make it...
Figuring out how styles work is a part of the task, find documentation or tutorial and try to follow it. You can always look at an example I linked few posts earlier (in that presentation you can apply different styles with one LaTeX command).
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
- Is there a reason why backgrounds are huge jpg files? This way your example presentation is over 6MB! Even that it has only 5 slides. Maybe you could try to make background using beamer command. Or at least a png file (which will compress better for simple shapes and will not leave jpeg artifacts). Besides, background does not have to be fancy. It has to be readable.
- Current choice of colors is not bad, but certainly could be better (try to use "official" NetBSD colors - orange, white, grey, black). See the OpenOffice slides task for an example.
- There's no reason to write that bg was created in GIMP. We like GIMP but we don't want to advertise it on every slide.
One of the mentors has sent this task back for more work. Talk to the mentor(s) assigned to this task to satisfy the requirements needed to complete this task, submit your work again and mark the task as complete once you re-submit your work.
