Note that the encoding and the font should match. If T1 % does not look nice, try deleting the line with the fontenc. \title[Wiki Spot overview] % (optional, use only with long paper titles) {The Wiki Spot project} %\subtitle %{Include Only If Paper Has a Subtitle} \author[Philip Neustrom, Arlen Abraham] % (optional, use only with lots of authors) {Philip Neustrom \and Arlen Abraham} % - Give the names in the same order as the appear in the paper. % - Use the \inst{?} command only if the authors have different % affiliation. %\institute[Universities of Somewhere and Elsewhere] % (optional, but mostly needed) %{ % \inst{1}% % Department of Computer Science\\ % University of Somewhere % \and % \inst{2}% % Department of Theoretical Philosophy\\ % University of Elsewhere} %% - Use the \inst command only if there are several affiliations. %% - Keep it simple, no one is interested in your street address. \date[Wiki Wednesday, Dec 2007] % (optional, should be abbreviation of conference name) {Wiki Wednesday, Dec 2007} % - Either use conference name or its abbreviation. % - Not really informative to the audience, more for people (including % yourself) who are reading the slides online \subject{Wikis and community} % This is only inserted into the PDF information catalog. Can be left % out. % If you have a file called "university-logo-filename.xxx", where xxx % is a graphic format that can be processed by latex or pdflatex, % resp., then you can add a logo as follows: % \pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{university-logo}{university-logo-filename} % \logo{\pgfuseimage{university-logo}} % Delete this, if you do not want the table of contents to pop up at % the beginning of each subsection: %\AtBeginSubsection[] %{ % \begin{frame}{Outline} % \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection] % \end{frame} %} % If you wish to uncover everything in a step-wise fashion, uncomment % the following command: %\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} %\begin{frame}{Outline} % \tableofcontents % % You might wish to add the option [pausesections] %\end{frame} % Structuring a talk is a difficult task and the following structure % may not be suitable. Here are some rules that apply for this % solution: % - Exactly two or three sections (other than the summary). % - At *most* three subsections per section. % - Talk about 30s to 2min per frame. So there should be between about % 15 and 30 frames, all told. % - A conference audience is likely to know very little of what you % are going to talk about. So *simplify*! % - In a 20min talk, getting the main ideas across is hard % enough. Leave out details, even if it means being less precise than % you think necessary. % - If you omit details that are vital to the proof/implementation, % just say so once. Everybody will be happy with that. \section{The web} \subsection{The information superhighway?} \begin{frame}{Web 1.0}{The beginning.} % - A title should summarize the slide in an understandable fashion % for anyone how does not follow everything on the slide itself. \begin{itemize} \item VRML \item email \item ecommerce \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Web 2.0} \begin{itemize} \item RSS \item blogs \item Web 2.0 technology \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Web 2.5} \begin{itemize} \item social networks \item wikis \item microformats \item folksonomies \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Web 3.0} \begin{itemize} \item widgets \item semantic mashups \item cluster analysis (kitten war) \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Web 3.5} omitted due to time constraints \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Web 4.0} \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{RadarNetworksTowardsAWebOS.jpg} \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Web 4.0} \begin{itemize} \item Web OS \item The AI web \item The "metaverse" \pause \item Wiki Spot \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}{Okay, seriously}{(We were kidding)} We just care about real people \& communities. \end{frame} %\subsection{Previous Work} \section{Intro} \begin{frame}{Who are we?} \begin{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=40mm]{philip-sockmadness.jpg} \newline Philip \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=40mm]{arlen.jpg} \newline Arlen \end{center} \end{center} \end{frame} \section{Davis Wiki} \begin{frame}{The concept} \begin{itemize} \item A need for our community \begin{itemize} \item Very transient \item Beautiful, awesome little things \& tricks everywhere!
