URLs or per mail welcome. Open Doc Format of interest, as are other open office standards & tools. I can web host anything approriate / permitted under copyright My presentation is now scheduled for Fri 6 Apr 2007, I plan to prepare in this order: - Appeal for raw material to work from, eg here & I've contacted http://www.allbsd.de/src/Flyer/FreeBSD/PDF/ to see if they want to do a leaflet I could hand out at talk. (Don't want to duplicate work Most of this has probably been done before by Linux people but I'm not sure whee to look, could spend longer browsing & searching than writing my own ? - Familiarise/acquire hardware tools - I have a stick mouse JVC Handy Mouse HC-MM55U - May buy a Wireless Media Presenter (posting soon about them on usb@freebsd.org) - Projector Determine resolution on projector supplied. Decide font size (not too small for back of room) Test with my X config on laptop at end of a previous session - Dummy `slide' preparation Probably on /usr/ports/misc/magicpoint ? Perhaps do a framing macro. - Try KDE system (not needed till now, I'm an old hand at Unix :-) & confer with Ernst cc'd who knows more ports/ for users than me. - Write presentation, including bits from above, + also from eg http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/freebsd/#escape http://berklix.com/free/ http://www.allbsd.de - `Dress rehearsal ;-) to avoid demo effect. - Give presentation. & publish on web after. Anything I've missed ? Any resources (URLs) people can point me at ? (I 'spose as we'll have 2 BSD laptops there, if we bought/borrowed a webcam, we could record it, might interest some who can't travel (& teach me what Not to do again ;-) ) > > On 11/27/06, Julian Stacey <jhs@berklix.org> wrote: > > 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.
