Subject: Announcement: The "Speaker" Slides Extension
I have been using DocBook slides for presentations and lecturing for several years now. In particular for lecturing (where, with growing experience, my slides become sparser, the blackboard denser, and the teaching more interactive), I've been missing the possibility of using my laptop to consult personal notes or access data or programs not for the audience to see. So I implemented the "Speaker" Slides Extension. The idea is to generate a flat file containing all slides for the speaker. The audience's view is displayed in a separate window (using Xinerama or a multihead display), and is updated via Javascript as the speaker navigates around in his view. I invite any interested parties to check out my self-documenting example at http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~piater/test/speaker/speaker.html, and to give me feedback. If it finds potential users other than myself, it might be useful to include it in the official docbook-slides distribution, where I'd be happy to maintain it for as long as I actively use it myself.
