[Klug-general] Presentation Software

[David Halliday]

No idea about video but I have used Google docs for presentations before and
I'm impressed by it.
There are a number of other web/cloud solutions but haven't tried them.

You could always produce a series of images/videos and hook up a system to
play them in different applications using a shell script to parse a text
file listing the underlying images/videos and auto detect best application
mplayer etc... To display.

Theoretically html 5 should be ideal for allowing content to be styled for
any display purpose including presentations (see Google reader play for an
almost perfect implementation of everything you want).

Is there any half decent presentation software for Linux out there?

Everyone uses Power Point, which to be quite simple is Windows/Mac Only and
ain't actually partially good either. I suspect because its never really had
very much competition. Its good enough but its a bit like IE4 (need I say
more)

OOO Impress is a bit clunkey but the current version under Ubuntu will not
handle Video at all! Lets say I don't think anyone at Sun ever spend much
time on it.

Any More?

I did hear something about "ease" but it does not seam to be under current
development.
