Well, the first presentation seems to have gone well. I'm at LinuxWorld in the tradeshow area, in the Dell area. Where you usually see marketing people in the Madonna headsets with multimedia presentations but in the Dell Desktop Linux section, it's me. (Trying to compete with the woman from Redhat behind me who is extremely perky and has excellent lungs.)
Anyway, this morning was OpenOffice.org Writer, and this afternoon from 3-4 I'm doing an hour of Cool Stuff I Think Is Powerful and Fun. Wednesday at 11 is Impress, and the afternoon is databases. Thursday at....I think 12 or so, I'm doing Calc, and the afternoon presentation, not at 3, is TBD. I might do advanced desktop publishing, just to see who can take it. ;>
This afternoon at 2, one of the folks with the open source substitute for Microsoft Project will be there. So come on by if you're interested in that topic.
Haha. Good luck in growing bigger lungs.
I have to admit I'm growing interested in the OpenOffice Base project. Despite all the screams about how bad Access is, the fact is that Access means a lot to businesses. I've seen it used from small mom and pops to VERY large companies that needed a very quick solution for a workgroup. Base is going to provide an alternative in this niche.
Let's see how things develop..
