Just received an e-mail pointing to the ApacheCon EU template at <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/program/speaker-guide.>, which is a breathtaking 18 (eighteen) MB file! My AOO crashes constantly on that presentation "template" on my old Windows XP machine due to the size. Obviously, someone who has no clues what s/he does used incredible sizes for some of the (background) pictures creating such an abmysal presntation. This is what one could do to resolve the issue: * unzip "ApacheEU_PPT_v2_ac.odp", switch into the "Pictures" subdirectory and load the two huge png-files that stand-out in that directory and resize them e.g. to 1024x768 pixel (fine result, 1/10th of the size, size could be reduced even further). * zip all the files and subdirectory to a new "ApacheEU_PPT_v2_ac_sane.odp" file. In my case I could reduce the size to two MB and AOO is happily processing it. Though the design is extremely dark, so I wonder whether it would be o.k. to use one owns template/design (carrying the AOO logo and the Apache feather)? ---rony
