Thursday, Sept. 20th, 7:30pm<br>
ALE Central meeting will be<br>
<br>
"Embedding Video Clips into OpenOffice.org Impress Presentations"<br>
<br>
a casual ALE presentation about preparing a presentation about<br>
preparing ALE as prepared and presented by James Kinney<br>
<br>
Synopsis:<br>
-- Most Linux users know and use OpenOffice.org for creating documents<br>
and Impress-ive<br>
presentations. It's often nice to use embedded video clips as a part<br>
of those presentation,<br>
though it's especially nice when we can capture and prepare those<br>
video clips using all<br>
Open Source Linux tools like Kino.<br>
– This will be a practical demonstration of how to do this and how to<br>
avoid pitfalls in<br>
keeping the presentation portable. These procedures were learned<br>
during the making<br>
of the "Beer in Spaaaaace!" presentation for DragonCon 2008.<br>
– Warning: Video clips of animated beer drinkers may offend the easily<br>
offended, though<br>
we can assure our audience that no hops were abused in the making of<br>
this presentation<br>
or the brew that accompanied it. Also, a possible linkage between<br>
Linux and beer may<br>
appear if it ever compiles.<br>
<br>
Bio:<br>
– Jim Kinney shows up at ALE meetings when harrased by Aaron and when<br>
he remembers<br>
what day of the week it is. Currently, Jim brews beer and prefers beer<br>
over serial ports.<br>
No, really! Once you pour the beer over the serial ports you can go<br>
have more beer 'cause<br>
the serial ports don't work any more. Beer over PS/2 or USB ports may<br>
be hazardous to<br>
your health.<br>
– Jim has also been a Linux user since 1993 (Go Slackware!) and a<br>
strong open source<br>
evangelist ever since. He masquerades by day as a Linux admin to<br>
support his hardware<br>
acquisition addiction. He is actively involved in working to displace<br>
the dysfunctional<br>
computer platforms in schools as a founding member of Georgia Open<br>
Source Education<br>
Foundation (<a href="http://gosef.org" target="_blank">gosef.org</a>). The group works with community groups such as<br>
Boys and Girls<br>
Clubs of America and the Clarkston Community Center to set up Linux<br>
thin client systems<br>
to support these groups need for reliable, low cost computing<br>
platforms for social support.<br>
