Back in 2007 Carl and I developed Slippy a GUADEC to do our cairo slides. I have used it since for many presentations. It's a pycairo-based tool where you express slides as Python functions. It's very handy, specially if you want to use cairo drawing in your slides. Back in the days, if I had a huge background image, it was replicated in each slide, so I was getting, like, 240MB PDFs for a simple presentation. Fortunately that has long been fixed. Now, for my GLyphy talk [2], the source images are 14MB [3], but the generated PDF [4] is 18MB. Does anyone feel like taking a look?
