Anyone know of a pre- ready presentation for Alternatives To Microsoft ? I've been asked to give a presentation (in English) to a bunch of engineers in Munich end of Jan 2007. On the basis "A good engineer is a lazy engineer", I'm asking before I write my own. I am _Not_ inviting a long thread, to rehash old well worn opinions of PD src/ etc. It'd bore me silly to read, let alone respond ;-) & be very inefficient & achieve nothing useful to me. I have decades of experience as an engineer & with Unix/BSD & have a BSD group here to back me up with ideas & criticism verbally & localy, faster, more efficient than typing etc :-) What I don't have, but seek is a set of beamer slides I could leverage from to save me time. (BTW I could equally leverage from German or perhaps French slides if existant). I could also leverage from a linux based slide set prob faster than starting from scratch, or at least for inspiration. Anyone know of a similar presention pre-exisiting, Re. Unix that I could leverage from (& give credit to) ? Of course if I have to write my own, I'll make mine public on web for others to leverage from). I'll probably use a beamer with /usr/ports/misc/magicpoint unless advised better ? (I dont fancy open office bloat to show .pps, & dont particularly want to learn how to prepare .pps slides, (though I'll probably show a few .pss) from a different topic to show that power point presentations are also showable under BSD. I've bcc'd this to Berkeley In Munich http://berklix.org/bim/ where Ernst has volunteered to help me, & others welcome too, but prob. best focus short discussion searching for URLs for now via list freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org, Then later, nearer date doubtless some local mail to BIM's list. URLs to presentations welcome. Thanks Julian -- Julian Stacey. BSD Unix C Net Consultancy, Munich/Muenchen http://berklix.com Mail Ascii, not HTML.
