I got tired of messing with Open Office and have checked some HTMLSlidy 
based presentations into git.  (There's also an update script in there 
which I can use to push the versions from git to my fedora people space.)

http://mdehaan.fedorapeople.org/presentations/cobbler/index.html

The idea is that now, in addition to code and the manpage, it's also 
possible to write readable patches against ... you guessed it... 
cobbler's presentation. 

The source you have to edit is all just one big simple HTML file with 
the UL's and LI's we all know and love.

Now, when someone wants to present cobbler at a conference or BarCamp 
they can just take the existing files and tweak them, but we'll always 
have something up to date.
At some point I should try to polish up the CSS -- most of the work I 
did was getting the w3c content stripped out of it.

A neat feature of slidey is you can click the button at the bottom of 
the screen to go to any certain page, and your browser's F11 works as 
you suspect for fullscreen action.

I still have to make these shinier but at least it's much easier to edit 
this than keep updating slides.

The data is also all Creative Commons Share Alike 3.0 licensed, so feel 
free to fork the directory tree and upload to your own server if you 
want to add some of your own things to presentations, etc.

I kind of feel that between the demo, the Wiki, and presentations we 
have almost overdocumented things, but that's not such a bad thing to 
have.   We should probably do a bit of Wiki organizing in the future -- 
other comments on things that need docs are of course always welcome too.
