Instructions for creating a slide presentation

(copied from the original website from here down)

To copy this template presentation into your Github account so that you can make it your own:

1. Create an empty repo on Github (ex. presentation-your-topic)
2. After creating the repository, you can choose to Import code:
3. On the Github Importer page, enter in the link to this repository (https://github.com/MaptimeCalgary/presentation-example):
4. Press Begin import and (after a few seconds) you'll be taken to your new presentation. Go ahead and start making edits!
5. Your presentation should be available under http://your-username.github.io/presentation-your-topic

Customizing Slide Style

From the repo base, fire up a Sass compiler:

sass theme/source/maptimecalgary.scss:theme/maptimecalgary.css --watch

Now edit the theme style at theme/source/maptimecalgary.scss

FAQ

Why clone the repo rather than fork the repo?

The problem with forking is that, on Github, you can only have one fork of a repo on your account (unless you email Github and ask them to disassociate the fork with the source). This means that if you want to have multiple presentations on your account that are based off of this presentation example, you'll be disappointed.
