Style guide for slides

[ghost]

Next time (for LGM2019) add some fonts assets that should be used on graphics slides (title & content slides)

"State of Libre Graphics 2019: Style guide for slides"

The opening presentation at Libre Graphics Meeting is “State of Libre Graphics,” an update from the many software, curation publication and umbrella projects of our Libre Graphics community.

For each project we want a title slide and one or two content slides:

• The title slides should/could contain name of project, logo and perhaps a brief tag-line for/description of the project.
• The content slides should be about changes in the last year; as well as perhaps plans for the near future, it is good if the slides are a mostly visual; with speaker notes with context in the .txt file for what to to say with the slides.
• Naming of files:
  • projectname-0.png (or .jpg) -- title slide
  • projectname-1.png -- 1st content slide
  • projectname-2.png -- 2nd content slide
  • projectname.txt -- speaker notes
• The graphics files should be 1024×768 – if they are not; they will be resized to fit.
  • The assets directory contains fonts that should be used for text objects on slides.
  • For projects focused on video/animation; an up to 100second video/animation with audio would be welcome instead of slides 1 and 2. If this option is taken, upload the video somewhere and provide an URL for fetching it.
• The demo-project directory contains a set of empty files that you can build upon (and maybe better explain how to create the slides than those words)

If you're wondering what you should put on the slides, you can watch slides from previous presentations:

• State of Libre Graphics 2018
  • https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2018
• State of Libre Graphics <year>
  • <URL>

Content should be submitted by <date>.

Please send your slides to Ale Rimoldi: ale AT graphicslab.org or make a pull request to this repository.

hi @Symbian9 ,
interesting suggestion.
for some project it might be helpful to have more hints on how to create the slides, but many others have already a really hard time following the few ones in place...

personally, i like that each project has a different style... but if people prefer it we can create a common visual identity.
in that case i think we should probably provide SVG or xfg files to be used.

finally, i've read your new text and tried to take it into account when creating the repository for next year:
https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2019
but since you are making your proposal in a diffable format, i'm not sure that i spotted all changes.
if there are things i've missed, can you make a pull request on next year's README file?
