Previously, the design of the first slide has matched with the theme of the
release. Keeping it this way would be good.

One of the previous replies the suggestion was Grub2, GPT disk label, etc.
Those are all good ones but aren't 'exciting', especially for non-techies.
However, what is to say that we can't highlight a couple of special things?
In looking at the Features list [1], i see a theme of 'cloud' and 'cloud
services/integration'. What if we group those features together into 1
slide?

This is the list of Spins [2] for this release.I'm indifferent on which one
is chosen. My only contention is choosing a spin that hasn't been
highlighted before. Again, we could highlight the two newest one in a single
slide (eg Scientific and Robotics).

The links with group pictures were excellent. I don't have the link in front
of me but the one i liked was the group pic in which the group look like a
triangle. I think it was the second link from the list.
