Our Featured Presentation for the
\nThursday, Sept. 18th, 7:30pm
\nALE Central meeting will be
\n
\nEmbedding Video Clips into OpenOffice.org Impress Presentations
\n<\/font>
\na casual ALE presentation about preparing a presentation about
\npreparing ALE as prepared and presented by James Kinney<\/strong><\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/p>\n

— Most Linux users know and use OpenOffice.org for creating documents and Impress-ive
\npresentations. It’s often nice to use embedded video clips as a part of those presentation,
\nthough it’s especially nice when we can capture and prepare those video clips using all
\nOpen Source Linux tools like Kino.
\n— This will be a practical demonstration of how to do this and how to avoid pitfalls in
\nkeeping the presentation portable. These procedures were learned during the making
\nof the “Beer in Spaaaaace!” presentation for DragonCon 2008.
\n— Warning: Video clips of animated beer drinkers may offend the easily offended, though
\nwe can assure our audience that no hops were abused in the making of this presentation
\nor the brew that accompanied it. Also, a possible linkage between Linux and beer may
\nappear if it ever compiles.<\/p>\n

Bio:
\n— Jim Kinney shows up at ALE meetings when harrased by Aaron and when he remembers
\nwhat day of the week it is. Currently, Jim brews beer and prefers beer over serial ports.
\nNo, really! Once you pour the beer over the serial ports you can go have more beer ’cause
\nthe serial ports don’t work any more. Beer over PS\/2 or USB ports may be hazardous to
\nyour health.
\n— Jim has also been a Linux user since 1993 (Go Slackware!) and a strong open source
\nevangelist ever since. He masquerades by day as a Linux admin to support his hardware
\nacquisition addiction. He is actively involved in working to displace the dysfunctional
\ncomputer platforms in schools as a founding member of Georgia Open Source Education
\nFoundation (gosef.org). The group works with community groups such as Boys and Girls
\nClubs of America and the Clarkston Community Center to set up Linux thin client systems
\nto support these groups need for reliable, low cost computing platforms for social support.<\/p>\n
