Opening Remix Network 1.1

Updated September 24, 2008 @ 10:42 PDT

I updated the Opening Remix Networks with some new slides, dropped some other wasteful ones, and I think the presentation is much better. Of course, there are times where I play video, and I’ve substituted slides for those clips and associated audio files.

I’m still interested in having a high-bling presentation app. I still can’t believe that this doesn’t exist on Linux. If someone else is interested in this, I would consider running funds through my company to build up an open source application to do this possibly based on clutter. Or, better yet, I should try out http://go-oo.org/ which has 3d effects, SVG support, and gstreamer support! Is there a Gentoo overlay for this?

I gave this presentation today at the famed Beijing-based Central Academy of Fine Arts in Deer Fang’s Experimental Video Lab course. It was strangely like a real art school!

    Gentoo
    Gentoo provides OpenOffice.org in their repositories. To build and install it just type as root

    # emerge openoffice

    (Really, it is the source from go-oo.org they use.

  2. Thanks for the note! Yes, I figured it out and emerged it…works really great, but need to find fix for having multimedia show up in presentations when using compiz. The audio works, just not image.
