europecv
Does anyone know if there is a LaTeX class which implements the new (2013) europass cv?
I could not find anything on the web and I am thinking to start writing it myself but I want to make sure that there is nothing like that around. This question was already asked in Europass 2013 Curriculum Vitae and apparently no such class existed up to 4 October.
europecv is indeed the package to use to typeset a Europass CV in LateX. If you're looking for some information, I wrote a post on my blog about it a few years back: http://www.raphink.info/2007/08/europecv-latex-cv-class.html
The post links to an example.
Hard way ahead. Put this in your preamble

If you want to modify the .cls file which is not a good idea as your modifications will be overwritten with an update, here is how to jump in to the sea. First save a copy of europecv2013.cls and name it myeuropecv2013.cls
After line 355, say add these
\newcommand*{\ecvlinkedin}[1]{\def\ecv@linkedin{#1}} %% this line is reference
\newcommand*{\ecvskype}[1]{\def\ecv@skype{#1}} %% <---add
and then add \ecvlinkedin{} after line 393. Then in command
\providecommand{\ecvpersonalinfo}[1][20pt]{%
on line 390, below
\ifx\@empty\ecv@linkedin\else
$\begin{array}{@{}l}\includegraphics[width=\ecv@iconwidth]{ic_linkedin}\end{array}$\ecv@linkedin\par\vspace{10pt}
\fi
(lines 416-418), add these
\ifx\@empty\ecv@skype\else
$\begin{array}{@{}l}\includegraphics[width=\ecv@iconwidth]{skype}\end{array}$%
\ecv@skype\par\vspace{10pt}
\fi
BTW change \ecv@linkedin\par\vspace{10pt} to \ecv@linkedin\par\vspace{5pt}
Then save myeuropecv2013.cls and use\documentclass{myeuropecv2013}

I have just released an updated version of
europecvthat implements the graphical theme released in July 2013.You can see a sample CV here and its source here.
The class and all related files are hosted on github: https://github.com/leinardi/europecv2013
Normally I do not work with LaTeX (but I like to use it when I get the chance), which is why the class code may not be very clean. If anyone has suggestions on how to improve the code I would be happy to hear them.
