I'm right now doing this initially.
I can set up a document class based on a template and check that 
lyluatex works.

I went for this template 
https://www.latextemplates.com/template/a0poster-landscape-poster 
because I think if the content is about a visual thing the medium should 
be not be a distraction. Also, it gives us plenty of room to organize 
content, and I think the header section is pretty practical for our 
purposes.

Right now I'm claiming the right to decide by means of being the one who 
*does* it, but that doesn't mean it is carved in stone. However, 
stripping the content from these sample templates does require some 
work, so we shouldn't to that too often.

Whoever wants to participate may either open a pull request or email me 
personally their Github user names.

One thing to state in advance: In this case not only the printed poster 
is part of the exhibition but also the code repository, so the code 
should be exemplary.

Best
Urs
