Well there was the bottom part of the message holding the explanation itself:

Facts (below)

As for the facts:

• it was not Master but ALT Linux Compact 2.3 (page|ISO|ML)
• it was Third Ukrainian Free Software Developers' and Users' Conference
• it was sponsored by IBM, Novell and EMT (yeah, I work for ...us; another funny thing is that Microsoft proposed to sponsor the conference too but we decided to politely decline the generous offer)
• it is the head of Microsoft Ukraine, Mr. Valery Lanovenko
• it is the Tablet PC which failed to feed the projector on the secondary head properly to blame
• and indeed it's OpenOffice.org on our Linux/ThinkPad running their PowerPoint presentation ;-)
• IMG_0395 has Mr. Lanovenko's personal comment -- he tries to make an impression that it was PDF (we as the conference staff recommended to keep those at hand) but all of us know OOo doesn't display PDFs ;-)

You bet there was some debate afterwards but no tomatoes flying (which was quite the fear of Mr. Lanovenko's coworkers) :-) Shameless plugs

BTW, there's going to be 4th such conference this autumn (first weekend of October), you're welcome! (details at the conference site, see above)
