Abstract
A few months back, I was asked to give a presentation in front of 200 people on the topic of Open Source software. The coordinator for the event called me and asked that I submit my PowerPoint presentation a few days early for review. I informed her that I could do that, but I wouldn’t be using Microsoft PowerPoint. I could have heard a pin drop on the other end of the phone. I told her that it wouldn’t make sense to create my slideshow on Open Source software on a non-Open Source application. She was a bit uncertain, but I told her to trust me; the presentation would be professional-looking and 100 percent compatible with her computer and with PowerPoint.
