Slides are not that same as a well written paper or abstract. Some of the best talks I have seen have used the slides for additional illustration rather than spending the whole talks reading out the slides, indeed some people do not a video projector at all. So collecting the slides alone does not solve everything. Having said that, at the last PyConUK, almost all the slides I wanted were on the CD. Although, I have not read half of these yet. The only talk I wanted notes from that were not on the CD were emailed to me by the speaker. So if a talk is really vital to someone, nothing stops that person talking to the speaker afterwards. _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
