Ryan-
Great job. I can't personally help with opensourcepresentations.com at this
time, but I would like to see it be developed. Keep us updated!

Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Open Source Presentation so far... feedback
needed
Maybe some of these responses are coming late. I did the presentation
today.. Here is the final presentation I used. I looks MUCH better in
OpenOffice than it does PowerPoint. Pls. do not distribute this. I am
working with my companies legal dept. to get this licensed under the GFDL.
Otherwise, the presentation went great. We had all the right people in the
room who can get the open source movement started within the company. I
also plugged BRLUG. :)

Now that this is done I can start to focus on opensourcepresentations.com ..
Anyone interested in helping out?

I also agree, the rule of thumb is four points per slide. I admit that I
violated the rules myself for slide 3, open source history, which has SIX
big
bullets and sub bullets. Looking at it again, I'd move the "free" "open
source" bullet out to a separate slide called terminology with "freeware"
and
"shareware" also on it. This does not have to result in something that's
dumbed down and content free.
Notes are where you put all the details. They remind you of what you wanted
to say, make the presentation intelligible later and give you a place to
write down good audience questions and other feedback. They should also be
trimmed down for legibility much more than I made the notes to slide 3.
Iterations take out the excess. The more you give the presentation, the
more
feedback you get and the more you realize exactly what you are trying to say
and exactly what words get the point across.
Open Office, by the way, does a great job of exporting presentations to
html.
Notes are exported by Open Office's html writer, which also makes index and
navigation frames. If you have named your slides, you get a the index is
easy to follow and your readers can jump to the point they want. Medium and
high quality exports look great.
