inkscape

Over the past few years I've presented different versions of this talk.

•  Linux Users of Victoria - http://www.luv.asn.au/
•  Ballarat Linux Users Group - http://www.blug.asn.au/
•  Melbourne Novell Users Group - http://www.mnug.org.au/
•  at linux.conf.au as a workshop
•  at VITTA, QSITE, CEGSA & ECAWA conferences for teachers
• at the Melbourne University "techtalk" forum.

It's gradually improved with each rendition.

This is halfway through an earth, water, air, fire set. Earth - is represented by brown spirals - semi-inpsired by the triple spiral at New Grange in Ireland. Water - represented by blue bubbles. Seemed the natural thing to do with Spheres, clones and gradients.
