Cool.  Maybe I should sign up to give LibreOffice presentations at conferences?

I'm not sure it would help in this particular case, but we should
probably develop a standard project overview presentation that we can
keep up-to-date and translate.   Cover the basics of what AOO is as a
product, platforms, languages, functionality, standards supported,
etc., then discuss Apache and AOO as a project, and then end with
future plans and an invitation to get involved.  If we had such a 20
slide presentation, it would make it easier for project members, and
other interested parties, to help spread the word at smaller events.

Is there a standard Apache presentation template?

Juergen is preparing a comprehensive Where We Are and Where We Are
Going presentation for LinuxTag. I think he believes that there is
already actual work being done on a presso as discussed here, and I
guess I had the impression, too….

Is there?

If so, where?

No. There are some resources that you can use in official
presentations [1] but most projects prefer to develop their own
templates.

That being said, if someone wants to create a template in AOO I'd be
happy to host it in the speakers section of the ComDev site.

Okay; thanks. I think that it would actually be useful to have your
presentation, esp. if it includes or references technical details,
available for others outside of LinuxTag.

The point is that many many large groups of people are wondering about
the future of AOO.

If the paper will be accepted (and I hope it will) I will give the 
presentation in German. The last time I have presented at LinuxTag I 
start in English and switched then to German because the audience 
preferred German.

Juergen, would you accept constructive critique? Given that your
presentation effectively would be representing the work being done and
to be done, it would be good to have clear, forceful language….  and
last I heard, English as she is spoke is me native tongue. ;-)

Ciao
Louis

I have proposed a paper for the LinuxTag in Berlin in May. It's under 
review and not yet accepted.

Short abstract
"OpenOffice is the leading open source office productivity suite and 
2011 was a challenging year for the OpenOffice project. The main sponsor 
Oracle announced to stop their investment in the project and they 
granted the source code and the trademarks to the Apache Software 
Foundation (ASF). The presentation is intended to inform about the 
current status, the future and to clarify many wrong and misleading 
communication around the project."

Future plans will be based on discussions here on the list and the 
proposed 4.0 features etc.

I proposed a talk about AOO for the next BSDCan:

http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/

I actually have to prepare another, more technical, talk
for the same event so having a standard presentation
template to start with would be good.
