Here's a script I made in a rush during Europython 2007 to get tux
presents itself with a few slides that I took out of my presentation.
At the beginning we were showing all this stuff by ourselves but
thought it would be much nicer,at least for for us , to have tux
doing it all by himself.



I wrote the script during one of the many talks of Arlo Belshee around
Agile. I didn't clean it up but I'll certainly work on this in the
future so I'll post an updated version in a month or so when we'll have
it. I'll shoot this when it will be updated, for those that don't have
a tux yet.

Requirements

• XAutomation: required for the script to cycle the slides. It
  won't work without that though if you comment all the lines that use
  it, you should still get the animation.
• Tuxsetup with the english voices installed.
  
  

Usage

Just start a slideshow application on the picture slides that comes
with the script, then start the script in a terminal and then quickly
come back to the slideshow and set it in full screen mode. That should
do it. The script will animate tux, use the English TTS engine and
change the slides by issuing PageDown key presses. So if you give the
focus to something else without quitting the script, expect some
trouble.

Issues

As the script is looping and always running functions, it can't be
quit even with Ctrl-C, that's an issue of the API that we know but is
not very easy to fix. Just close the terminal window to get rid of it
for now.
