Update: Here is the presentation I made in HTML format and in Open Document format.

I will give a short technical presentation of Mac OS X this coming Saturday 13th at the LinkByNet office in the A1 building at Vacoas as from 10:00. This presentation will take place during the Linux User Group of Mauritius monthly meeting.

Now, I can talk a lot about the Mac and Mac OS X (both from an “envangelism” and from a technical point of view) but I don’t want to be too long and, hence, boring.

I’ve, with the help of some other people, identified the following topics:

• History of the Mac and of Mac OS X
• Apple, Mac OS X and Open Source Software
• An overview of Mac OS X and common applications
• An overview of digital life and iLife
• An overview of some interesting third-party applications
• Technical caracteristics of Mac OS X
• Administering Mac OS X
• Software development on the Mac
• etc. etc. etc.

(PS: I’ve highlighted the most probable topics I’ll touch tomorrow…)

As I’ve said, I want to do a short presentation (1 hr max) and therefore I won’t be able to cover all those topics. Help me choose the 3 most interesting topics. Of course, you can propose new topics…

Be quick! I need to finalise everything tomorrow.

Thanks.
