Web presentation of Open Office slides

Motivation

TODO: Describe why viewing talks directly in the browser is desirable

Technology Requirements

• Viewing talks with slides directly on the web
• Not requiring visitors to have Open Office installed
• Not requiring people to download the presentation
• barrier-free, (e. g. text view of slide-images, transcript of audio)
• Support for all common browsers, including older browsers that are still in use
• Support computers without audio
• Support for small display screens (e. g. tablets, mobile phones)
• Should work without flash plugin and without JavaScript but may use these technologies if available

Approach

• Use OpenOffice HTML-Export as base
  • with frames
  • with notes (if there are notes)
  • browser colors
  • black arrow icons without borders

• Converting ogg-files to mp3 for Microsoft Internet Explorer
  • http://code.google.com/p/ogg2mp3/
  • ogginfo returns 1 on my recorded files which causes ogg2mpd to abort.
