I stay in vim during the talk because it's easy to run interactive
demos from it, edit and restart examples ... this is really convenient
when the audience is participating.
After the talk, I can provide .slides files but conference runners keep
on asking me a pdf version and I have to admit I feel the pain of people
not confortable enough with vim: I myself hate when I have to open a
libreoffice document. This is always a terrible experience.
So my first start was vim :hardcopy but it seems to be much more
challenging to tune it than to write a slides2roff program so I can
deal more easily with special cases (for example: there is a hook in
slides.vim to open any external content and it will be cool to transform
some contents as slides
* one image could become a slide
* one videon could become a capture in a slide

karchnu (another french member of the list)
already wrote a groff filter that is a wrapper to gnu source-highlight
AFAIR i'll adapt it if needed.
