It contains a %%LaTeX%% source file that you can modify to create PDF slides for the %%FreeBSD%% Developer Summit. It uses the [[http://bitbucket.org/rivanvx/beamer/wiki/Home|Beamer class]] which is an easy-to-use extension to %%LaTeX%% for making presentations. You can easily install it by the following command (as root): <code> # pkg install latex-beamer </code> This will install **Beamer** and **pdfLaTeX** that can be used for compiling the sources to produce the desired PDF file. <code> $ pdflatex my-presentation.latex </code> Or you can use the %%LibreOffice%% / %%OpenOffice%% {{DevSummit/201702/slides.otp?linkonly|template}} (contributed by [[/BaptisteDaroussin|BaptisteDaroussin]]). A few rule-of-thumbs when creating slides: * Try to make things legible, use large fonts. * Have title and closing. * Use less text, you do not have to include everything on the slides. (Prepare and) Do a demonstration if needed. * You have only a limited amount of time, having only 1 slide per minute (in addition to title and closing) is usually fine. * Sometimes images can tell more than pure text. * Discussions and meetings are the place where you might want to talk about the details. Contact <devsummit@FreeBSD.org> if you have questions or problems. ====== Registration ====== In order to attend, you must register in advance; this allows us to size rooms, order food, provide beverages, and make dinner reservations.
