Wow, thank you Lemmit for your tips. I recreated the summary now
(mostly copied the good thinks you wrote).
I know it's not as good as it should be, but I'm sorry, it's hard for
me to write in English and I can't think of anything else to write.
I can't add real bullet points since I can only submit the summary via
a website. But I'll remember that when creating the poster. Thanks
again for your suggestions, they are even more helpful when I'm about
to create the poster!

Autopackage is a tool for creating and installing software packages
compatible with most Linux distributions, including even older
versions. Applications like words processors, web browsers and games
installed using Autopackage will be completely integrated into your
desktop environment. Autopackage provides an easy, unified and
compatible way of distributing and installing software for both users
and developers.

Software using Autopackage comes in a file ending with ".package".
Installing autopackages does not require administrator privileges.
Thus you can safely install and try out new software without putting
your system or other desktop users at risk.

Only one package is needed for all types of Linux machines. You don't
even need to create two packages for 32 bit and 64 bit machines since
Autopackage can integrate both binary types into one package and chose
the right one during installation.

To help developers create binaries that works across multiple
distribution, Autopackage includes a tool called APBuild that works
around many portability issues that occur during normal compilation.
