Pretty Presentations for Ronald McDonald House

A need that the Ronald McDonald House near Downtown Orlando has had for some time is the ability to display slides during their board and staff meetings. Last week Caring Compy met that need by delivering a desktop loaded with Xubuntu Linux and the latest version of OpenOffice.org.

What is OpenOffice? OpenOffice "is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more." It is fully compatible with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Powerpoint and is just as capable.

With such great OpenOffice software, the Ronald McDonald House's presentation needs are well met. Pictured below is Josh Hendrix who runs the Ronald McDonald House with their new presentation desktop. Please note that we donated the desktop, not the television.
