Lol, you can joke from where you are, my father-in-law firmly believes Iâm a member of the âIlluminatiâ due to having gone to Jesuit seminaries until the end of secondary school. Then again, it makes him more polite since heâs a bit scared of me, so I suppose it has its benefits ⦠Andrew Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas Sent: Thursday, November 9, 2017 8:23 AM To: pharo-users@lists.pharo.org Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Writing "powerpoint" like presentations in Pharo? Sophie looked very promising... Unfortunately it was not open source and died before porting it to Java (following the Illuminati conspiracy of porting Smalltalk break througts to "inferior" technology, as happens once and again :-P).

Hopefully, we will have something better, with metamedium capabilities, including embedding other media and make it programmable in Pharo, without going to the "disastrous" slide metaphor.

The idea of slides seems pretty anachronistic/boring for making presentations. Amen, brother! Alan Kay would be proud :)   Maybe. I refer the whole aesthetics of slides (even the ones with animations or simulations). You go in slide at the time, bullet point by bullet point, loosing context and perspective. My usual approach is mind maps. In [1] you can see the exported SVG version of the one I use in a Grafoscopio workshop. Source code is in [2].  [1] http://mutabit.com/grafoscopio/Docs/En/Talks/Overview/grafoscopio-mapa.svg [2] http://mutabit.com/grafoscopio/Docs/En/Talks/Overview/grafoscopio-mapa.mm  Cheers,  Offray  Â
