I am excited to see the announcement of Glide. Doing presentations on Linux has long been depressing. There's OpenOffice Impress, which is... the most popular, but it's slow, ugly, and awkward. Some people use LaTeX Beamer, but... I don't really have the TeX chops. I've seen Linux users hand-write HTML and run their presentations on a browser. I've seen two or three hacked up custom presentation programs (hell, I made one, with a little Clutter for transitions). But it looks like someone is really all the way this time, with a real UI and everything. There is a git repository, the code is pretty clean looking, too. The file save format is json. It's possible to build it on the latest Ubuntu Lucid beta, but you need to hack up configure.ac and manually install gobject-introspection (the one in the repositories doesn't get found by autoconf). I am so excited.
