It would be nice if you uploaded also the files (TeX+figs) you used in your presentation. That way people could still use them as a template, or as a starting point for their own presentations just in case no "official" template ends up being available.
Well, the slides of the "presentation" are rather what I would NOT like to use people in their talks because it is just a rude mix from everything that came into my mind and might be discussed. I'd regard it by far a better idea to grab a random one of my other talks if you are looking for a reasonable template and add some Debian logo stuff. I have the sources of all my talks uploaded as well - perhaps a little bit hidden, but if you follow the link "Used technique" you will reach a page that explains what you have to do to reproduce the slide. The rationale behind this is that the "plain LaTeX source" is just half of the truth because I store needed input files and images in a common directory. Try to understand the instructions and bug me in case it is not understandable. I'll try to fix this as soon as possible.
Oh, and if a design was settled, it would be really nice to have the design implemented in some other presentation toolkits (besides beamer) such as OO's impress or Kpresenter. For the benefit of those that do not like LaTeX (I'm not one of them :)
Yes, this was the idea - but this will definitely not be done by me because I'm lacking knowledge about the later ones and also lacking interest. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
