Lol, you can joke from where you are, my father-in-law firmly believes I’m a member of the “Illuminati” due to having gone to Jesuit seminaries until the end of secondary school.

 

Then again, it makes him more polite since he’s a bit scared of me, so I suppose it has its benefits …

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).

I remember using CompendiumNG some time ago, but not for presentations. 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.

Cheers,

I agree with you – on the rare occasions I do still do presentations I tend to use CompendiumNG, which is similar to a mind map but can contain any content, including multimedia content.  It was an Open University project but was used sufficiently elsewhere that when the Open University decided they were done with it the project was forked and continued by others.

 

It’s written in Java, currently I believe there’s no binary although it’s easy to build.  If you just wanted the installer jar to try it out though let me know.

 

Honestly though I’d probably still use Director if it weren’t for Adobe’s pricing.

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].
