The command line way is simple/direct: 1) Unzip the ODP file to disk 2) Look for any large image files 3) Load the large image files into an editor and reduce resolution/color depth, increase compression, whatever you need to do to make it smaller. 4) Save image file back to same name/same directory. 5) Zip up the directory, renaming it to and *.odp extension if needed. ODF files are just ZIP archives containing XML + binary resources like images. So they are very hackable from the command line, once you unzip them.

I would recommend using vectors like SVG or indexed PNG instead. If you want to keep it ODF-like, maybe do the design on ODG. 4) Save image file back to same name/same directory. 5) Zip up the directory, renaming it to and *.odp extension if needed. AFAIK there are issues with zipping an ODF file. I remember this was reported on some ODF blog since the way WinZip ad other programs zip by default is not 'standard' with ODF editors. Might need to google it again, but it just jump into mind. ODF files are just ZIP archives containing XML + binary resources like images.

Is it possible to know how this document can be reused ? Nick is going to get it clarified (some graphics is from the conference producers). But this will happen next week at ApacheCon, not earlier.

Just received an e-mail pointing to the ApacheCon EU template at http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/program/speaker-guide., which is a breathtaking 18 (eighteen) MB file! My AOO crashes constantly on that presentation template on my old Windows XP machine due to the size. Obviously, someone who has no clues what s/he does used incredible sizes for some of the (background) pictures creating such an abmysal presntation. This is what one could do to resolve the issue: * unzip ApacheEU_PPT_v2_ac.odp, switch into the Pictures subdirectory and load the two huge png-files that stand-out in that directory and resize them e.g. to 1024x768 pixel (fine result, 1/10th of the size, size could be reduced even further). * zip all the files and subdirectory to a new ApacheEU_PPT_v2_ac_sane.odp file. In my case I could reduce the size to two MB and AOO is happily processing it. Though the design is extremely dark, so I wonder whether it would be o.k. to use one owns template/design (carrying the AOO logo and the Apache feather)? ---rony
