Hi everyone...
I was going to make this myself but I've run out of time, and I hope someone can do it. (But let's coordinate and make sure we don't have wasted duplicate effort!)
For the celebration tomorrow, we are going to have a slide projector showing slides... what I'd like to have is screen shots from 20 (or 50!) languages of Wikipedia, the front page, one fading into the next...
I wonder as well if anyone knows if any of the other celebrations or past events have slide shows that could be running quietly in the background.

Erik Zatche has a cool gallery of screenshots[1]. Also, sorry about the 'autopromo', ; ) I have used the Wikimedia counter[2] in some events with great results.

It's not autopromo: the tool is mentioned also on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Use_eye-catchers_to_attract_attention ;-)

Erik Zachte to the rescue! He has just created an animated version of his main page gallery:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/gallery/SlideShowWikipedia.htm
He suggests downloading the files for offline presentations:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/gallery/GalleryWikipedia.zip (111 MB)
The delay between pages can be tweaked
var msec_next_slide=7000 ; var msec_pause_between_slides=1000 ;
Feel free to add this to tenwiki in the appropriate place.
