<br>
It is a pleasure to report that the abstract for the SciPy conference<br>
was accepted.<br>
<br>
As you probably know both Joao and me will be presenting Biopython (Joao<br>
on BOSC and me on SciPy). The scope of the presentation will be<br>
slightly different: I think Joao will concentrate on updates, whereas<br>
my presentation will be more general.<br>
<br>
I would like to spend some time on putting forward a snappy<br>
presentation that could be re-used (even if only partially) by others in<br>
the future.<br>
<br>
I am trying to think on what technology to use. I want to avoid<br>
powerpoint, beamer and friends. Also most web presentation frameworks<br>
are actually quite powerpoint-like.<br>
<br>
I am trying to find something that is free-software, can easily use<br>
animations and insightful presenting features. Should work on the web<br>
and on live-presentations. I am ignoring dead-tree printing.<br>
<br>
I am considering quite some wacky things like blender or animation<br>
packages. Trying to be a bit out-of-the-box in terms of form...<br>
<br>
If someone has any ideas...<br>
