Hi,

As announced by Chris Willing at this week's APAC conference in
Australia, we a pleased to offer for testing an initial release of
DPPT-OO(*), an add-on to the OpenOffice.org presentation tool to allow
it to inter-operate with Distributed PowerPoint.  This enables users to
participate in DPPT sessions both as a master and a client under
non-Microsoft operating-systems (although it can be used under Windows,
and has some advantages there too).

The software and further information on this project is available at:

  http://www.ap-accessgrid.org/linux/dppt-oo/

Comments and bug-reports are solicited from the access-grid community.

Cheers,
Steve
