A template for SunPy talks

[wtbarnes]

There are several of us who give SunPy update talks at various meetings throughout the year and this will likely increase with the uptick in in-person meetings again. It would be nice to have a single base template for building these presentations, both to alleviate the work on the person making the presentation as well as to make our "branding" (for lack of a better word) more consistent.

In particular, it would be nice if this template (and all derived presentations) could be version-controllable. I really like the look of the slides from the SPD Workshop last year, but I do not like that they are trapped within Google Office Suite. This makes it a pain to reuse (unless you're just copying slides over) and to organize.

Is there some way we could recreate the look of this template in a format that is version-controllable?

Currently, my recommendation for this would be a revealjs theme and a template repo. Revealjs presentations can also easily be built with a number of tools, including Quarto. Most importantly, a theme like this is version controllable and easily reusable.

This page from the Quarto docs is particularly helpful: https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/

See https://github.com/wtbarnes/sunpy-presentation-template for current progress.

I'd like to propose adding the above template as a repo under the sunpy project. Not sure what the best way to decide on that would be.
