Hi, 
In the interest of getting some useful demos for Linux World Expo id like to 
ask developers to consider what they think is the coolest thing about KDE 
3.2.  Then provide me information/screenshots to build 5 slides on it.  Since 
i realize no-one has time to do presentations im providing a form that just 
needs to be filled out.  From that we have a graphics artist that will create 
the presentation.  Please see the attachment, read the notes and fill out the 
"Form" section.  Ideally by having a simple text document developers should 
have an easy time providing the text and screen shots for our script to build 
a presentation from.

I would like to accumulate at least 10 presentations for LWE that we can 
rotate through them while people are in line to talk to developers.  What Im 
currently looking for are quick howto's, advertisements for new KDE 
applications, or just an overview of cool features that are in KDE 3.2.   The 
key applications that have no coverage currently are Desktop Sharing, KDE 
Printing System, Kontact and KDevelop.  If these authors or those close to 
these projects could provide me with information that too would be awesome. 
Authors, this is the time to advertise your work!

If people could get these back to me in the next three weeks that would be 
awesome, as we are going to have a graphics artists put all of the 
presentations together to make them clean and  consistant.

Cheers
	-ian reinhart geiser

p.s. once these are finished they will get put into kdepromo for use at other 
shows.

Notes:
You may have as many points as you like although the goal you should
shoot for is no more than 7 points of 2 lines at ~49 characters per 
line.  You can have as fewer points with more text in each point, as
long as the total amount of text is not greater than 700 characters.

The graphic should be 480x660 pixels in size max.  If you have two 
graphics that fit into this size they both may be used, but more 
than three can get crowded. For multiple screenshots its better to 
put them together in a collage so one larger graphic may be used.

The graphic is optional, but recommended

Narratives are optional, if you do not include one on a point, the
point itself is considered the narrative. Narratives can be as long 
as you like, these will be converted to speech and added to each 
bullet point.  

Once I have this information I can pretty much auto-generate slides 
from a template. Currently Im playing with flite to convert the 
text to speech.  Its okay, but I think having a human speak might 
be better.

Remember these presentations are going to be playing on a showroom
floor, so it will be loud.  Try to make your text on the points
meaningful, and have the narrative only fill in minor points or
even just a duplicate of the point itself.
