I know you were preferring a slideshow presentation, but if your audience is
technical, "Revolution OS" is a very good film, quite short (in comparison
to Hollywood) and covers the beginning of Linux and its open source
relation. It does have many interviews with popular GOSS figureheads such as
RMS and Eric Raymond so it might be useful for an open source talk.
