Building a presentation with inkscape + batik. My notebook.

OK, I hate PowerPoint ...

... and I hate OpenOffice/Impress

Next week, I'll present a talk about how to handle a bibliography with the tools available on the web (RSS, social bookmarking, zotero, etc...). Today I tried to build the slides using inkscape (the SVG editor) and apache batik (a Java-based toolkit for applications that want to use images in the SVG format).

Each slide was drawn using inkscape. The background was designed using this hack. Each slide was then converted to PDF using the Batik-Rasterizer (Problem: inkscape already supports SVG1.2 with new tags such as flowRoot but batik does not. This problem was solved by converting the texts to their pathes . Also, be careful before moving the files, the path to the pictures are relatives in inskcape )

java -jar ${BATIK_PATH}/batik-rasterizer.jar -bg 0.0.0.0 -m "application/pdf" *.svg

All the slides were then merged into an unique file using ghostscript.

gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=slides.pdf -dBATCH *.pdf

Here is the result (this is still a draft, sorry the references of the pictures are still missing):

It is really outdated now :-) ....

I wonder how I would write this presentation now... this makes me think about this presentation pointed out by Berci Mesko on twitter: I would make this presentation obligatory for all the speakers of the world.

Web2.0 and Science: A Presentation using SLIDY

(via Sun)Slidy is a purely web based presentation tool that can be displayed in a modern browser. No need to mail slides around the world and clutter email boxes, no need for the recipient to download a huge binary: just send someone a URL to your slide..

I've tested Slidy tonight by writing a short presentation about my thoughts on the web2.0 and science. You can read this presentation at:
