and I need these information:
When Haiku started? and by who?
common features and differences from other OSes
!
Hi mehionline!
For pictures and esp. videos, I suggest to install Haiku as a virtual machine in e.g. VMware or VirtualBox etc. Take screenshots from there and use some screencapturing software for videos.
There are a few very nice articles on OSNews from when the first alpha came out, e.g.

http://www.osnews.com/story/22354/My_7_Days_Using_Haiku_Alpha_Release_1
Good luck with your presentaion. For the next time, I guess, you should start preparing a bit earlier…

Bryan Lunduke from the Linux Action show has some nice articles on R1A1 & R1A2.
Colin has a blog post titled: “2009-04-16: History: Changing names, how OpenBeOS became Haiku”
YouTube has a nice collection of videos too.
He/she just told us the “holy” government has blocked Youtube there.
mehionline, one thing I think you might want to highlight about Haiku, is how fast applications start. Haiku never implemented a loading cursor because it would never be shown anyway. This blew me away when I started using the OS. (The same speed cannot always be seen in a virtual machine though)
they told me about presentation on Friday it was’t my fault to start late (they=mashhadlug)
The user guide has a lot in it that you could show, like a demonstration on how the user interface and tracker work, and setting MIME file types. Have a look through it for some ideas.
