The product is called "JessyInk". It's a small JavaScript that can be embedded into an Inkscape SVG image and turns every layer into a slide, when the image is loaded in a browser. It supports transitions, effects and auto-texts (e.g. slide numbers). Additionally I integrated an index view mode, to jump to particular slides. Essentially, you can edit the presentation in Inkscape and then play it in any SVG capable browser. The website is http://code.google.com/p/jessyink/ Have fun playing!

It's basically XHTML with CSS. If you know how to create webpages you also know how to create a presentation. Add in some spice like jQuery for transitions if you want and you've just got the best cross-platform FLOSS geek presentation tool. Oh and putting stuff online is a breeze as you've already created the html :) Btw there are already some other people enhancing Eric's version[2]. ps: printing is a matter of making sure to add the right css file. 1: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ 2: http://s5project.org/ Nathan, I’d recommend to use S5 by Eric Meyer[1].

Very easy to write with LaTeX, plus it produces beautiful presentations with basically no worrying about the design. Maybe not exactly for every situation, but I find it highly useful.
