Hi :) Prezi, htmlslidy, smil, html5 sound worth quickly looking up and maybe exploring.
Good to see some good suggestions buried away in there. Delivery was a bit off-putting but it's good to have someone fairly extreme reminding us that life is worth enjoying rather than going that way ourselves. A little less tension and a little more humour and fun! A full Dvd with other OpenSource projects is prolly more than really needed on this occasion. It's tricky to track all the latest versions of everything. If you want that sort of thing then look towards the North American DVD Project or the German one and i suspect a few more languages have their own versions. Rhythmbox seems to be quite a popular music player but there are plenty of options. Vlc can do the job quite well even though it's not it's main purpose.
