Slides

The Training Team has criteria it must meet for published slides:

• Backwards compatible
• Reusable
• Minimal learning curve
• Ability to use without internet
• Design consistency between different sets of slides (theme)
• Maintainability
• Ease of updates
• Ability to account for different aspect ratios
• Accessible
• Open source

The team has adopted Shower (pronounced show-er) as the team's official solution for slides.

• The necessary folders and files should be added to all the repos.
• Each lesson plan (repo) must have the HTML file for editing and a folder for any images used.
• Editing to create the slides for a repo should all be done in the index.html file. No other file should be edited.
• There will be only one central location for CSS/JS files to facilitate updating the theme as needed. Therefore, there should be no CSS added to the repo's slides index.html file.
• If additional CSS is required, a pull request against the training team styles file.
• The theme supports two slide ratios: wide 16×10 (default) and taller 4×3. If you want to change the aspect ratio for your slides, change which CSS file is commented out.

If people have slides in other formats that they would like to contribute, they can include a link on the README.md file (e.g., Google slides) and add any files to the /slides/ folder (e.g., PowerPoint).
