+* My CV in Latex
+In order to build the CV you need to have [[[https://tug.org/texlive/][texlive]]] installed. Just use
+the =make= command to build the CV.
+
+If you want to change the content and layout of this tempale for your own CV, just
+have a look at =lxsameer_cv.cls= and adjust the valuse for the color theme and in
+the =cv.tex= file itself fillout your info and mix and match the layout based on
+your needs. Have fun hacking!
