Ankit Gadiya has a very nice post that explains and demonstrates how he uses Org for presentations. It’s a nice workflow that uses Org, Logos, Olivetti, and Pikchr to create and display his presentation.
Gadiya starts his presentations with an outline. That’s a natural thing to do in Org mode, of course, and he has things configured so that each header and subheader is the title of a slide. That makes it easy to move things around an restructure the presentation.
He uses Pikchr, a Pic-like language for line diagrams. I didn’t know about it and have never used it but I have used Pic a lot and really like it. I’ll definitely be checking out Pikchr since I don’t use the Troff suite much any longer.
A nice thing about Gadiya’s post is that he shows his complete configuration so it’s easy to replicate or adapt it. I like this approach much better than the fancier packages like Apple’s Keynote that I always find difficult to use because they offer so many features.
If you regularly—or even occasionally—find yourself giving presentations, take a look at Gadiya’s post. If you’re an Org user, you’ll find the workflow familiar and easy. He has a lot of good ideas and they’re all documented well in his post.
