[libreoffice-design] Minutes of the Design Hangout: 2017-Aug-03

[Gabriele Ponzo]

It depends a lot if projectors are going to be used or screens.

With the new coming big size screens, sometimes, especially in new
buildings, you can find them instead of projectors.

But most of the times you'll find an old projector 4:3... I hate them and I
know and am with you that the future is and has to be 16:9.

But... i find really useful to have slides in 4:3 to put them in 16:9
videos, having room for the speaker face shot by cameras and usually a
logo, just like we use to have at our conferences and at FOSDEM.

So I'm with Italo believing that fixing the resizing behavior should be the
best, and probably not so difficult to achieve (it should just be: don't do
anything :).

I'd prefer to have all the objects to be placed correctly than having them
all stretched. Also because if correctly used, it should be just matter of
master slides and layouts to be modified, almost without having to touch
every single slide.
