RE: [VisCom] OSGeo Presentation Template - Draft - Review and Comment by Tues 6/6

I'm new to these formats too. Perry had suggested odg as format.
Attached here as .otp, which I think is native Impress format.

Only recent change is removing the faint copyright notice from the
footer in favor of branding Project Name and spelling out OSGeo.

Remember, the title, section, and end slides are different by design.
Feel free to make tweaks or improvements, but let's get this wrapped up
and posted/distributed.

Peter

OK, color me confused -- I've never used Open Office before, but am
willing to give it a try...

I converted my .ppt file to be an .odp file, and then tried to pull in
the template Peter sent out. But, Peter's attached file was an .odg,
which as near as I can tell is a "Draw" file, not an "Impress Template"
-- I think I need an .otp file, but there doesn't seem to be an .odg ->
.otp conversion path available.

What am I doing wrong?

Perry, Tyler, mpg,

Thanks for comments on presentation template guys. I saved as .odg as
requested.

>Have you also checked if there is a Where 2.0 speaker template
available?

I looked to no avail. I think there's more value in creating a
longer-lasting OSGeo template anyhow.

I agree, the black is cool, but intended for ad and banners and high
impact communications. Also, printing with it burns up toner in a big
way, and things like inserting screenshots and creating diagrams gets
pretty funky. So I stuck with the white background.

mpg - I addressed your comments as best I could below.

I can't spare any more time on this right now. If someone
wants to pick
it up and polish it up, that's fine by me. Otherwise, let's
declare it
done and get it out to the presenters.

Peter

OSGeoPresentationTemplate.otp (115 KB)

Oops! I just sent my version out--it's got a different font but really the major change is the transparent, antialiased logo (8-bit PNG). You might want to use that logo instead.

Cheers!
