=About the OSGeo-Live Presentation= We have created a half hour presentation, which provides a brief introduction the OSGeo Foundation, OGC standards, and starting the DVD. It then provides a lightning (20 second) overview of all applications installed on this DVD, which effectively provides a birds eye view of the breadth of robust GeoSpatial Open Source Software available.

We hope this presentation will be useful for people preparing presentations about geospatial open source.

=Building the Powerpoint slides= The slides simply contain a title, and a screen shot which is copied from the Project Overviews.

=Building the script= The script is derived primarily from the first paragraph or two of the Project Overviews, adjusted slightly to ensure that the script flows well between slides.

=Building the video on ubuntu= I'm sure there is an easier way to create a video, but here are steps which have worked so far.
 * Create Images of Slides
 * Install "shutter", an application for taking screen shots

sudo apt-get install shutter
 * Change Screen Resolution to 1024x768
 * Use shutter to take screen shot of each Open Office slide.


 * Audio recording
 * Use XXX to record the script for each slide


 * Postproduction
 * Use Kdenlive to cut and paste the audio and video together
