Hello,

I know LibreOffice Impress, but I also know some people prepare their presentations without WYSIWYG software. I guess it must be quicker.

What is your recommendation?

Thanks!

Idem. If you want some examples, you can download the "source" ("fonte" in Portuguese) along the slides (in English) I made for one of my courses here: http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/mda.html#slides

LibreOffice Impress or Calligra Stage. You can use Emacs or LaTeX, too. Sometimes I write markdown script and then convert them to HTML using pandoc.

Mastering slide presentation (or office suite) is not an easy job. I recommend the book entitled "Designing with LibreOffice".

I use libre dos. For everything. I can cook you a semi-liquid paella using only a liner in libredos.
When I have to present something I present libredos.
Everyone is happy with libredos.
Your kid would approve. It has the best graphics on the market!

Thank you all, very nice info.

I like the idea of this LaTeX's beamer class. However, as I don't think I am going to write technical or scientific data, I think I am going to try with something else I have found, which seems easier -and maybe I use for producing other type of documents too: asciidoc.

What do you think of it?

Beamer shines when it comes to writing math... but you do not have to write math!

Some people use Emacs Org Mode to write presentations using a markup language similar to Markdown.

A tool that I find interesting is the one from Suckless:

That said, I stick to Impress. I like my documents to be compatible with everyone else's. (PowerPoint can open OpenDocument files.)
