3. Something for Everyone to Love
Download a copy of this presentation for your own use from File > Download as… Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) See also for a demo script.
WARNING #1: If .pptx export is pulled into Keynote, the heading fonts will be ridiculously small and useless. :( One workaround is to open it in PowerPoint, Save As… a "PowerPoint Presentation (.ppt)" file, *then* open in Keynote. Ressin' fressin'…
WARNING #2: There's a video about accessibility just before the "Changes for site builders" section. In my experience this does NOT export properly, so you'll need to re-add it in whatever your presentation software is. URL to video is provided.

4. Drupal 8 is coming soon
Drupal 8 will be the best release of Drupal yet.

5. What is Drupal?
Drupal is open source content management software maintained and developed by a community of more than 35,000 developers around the world who have contributed to the project.
It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (or "GPL"), which means anyone is free to download it and share it with others.

6. What is Open Source?
The defining principle of open source is that anyone can sell services and products created with the software, but not the software itself.

7. Who uses Drupal?
...and more than a million other organizations

8. Why is Drupal so widely used?
Put simply, it’s the quality of the software and the community behind it: hundreds of thousands of people around the world work on developing and maintaining the Drupal platform and ecosystem every second of every day.
This makes for an incredibly powerful, cutting-edge content management system (CMS).

9. What is Drupal 8?
Drupal 8 is the latest release on the Drupal journey, and one that is substantially more powerful than previous versions.
Drupal 8 provides new ways to tailor and deploy content that looks great on any device. However you work with Drupal, there is something in Drupal 8 for you to love.

All core themes are now responsive.

The new toolbar is mobile friendly (large tap areas, opens in a vertical “sidebar”, collapsed version looks like app icons at the top)
Responsive tables make sure the most important columns are shown on smaller screens.
