like my email said originally, this talk was given in a 5 minutes flash-presentation at FISL given by the python user group.
this also just shoes how OOo uses python and what we could do to make it better. I also squeeze a demo all within 5 min. So is expected to be short. On the other side, feel free to contribute, I think I make my presentation downable.
