Matt (and others), A somewhat disorganized site for presentations (and presentation materials) can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Presentations - help organizing it would be awfully appreciated, as would be the creation of "general" presentation templates that others can use (so far, many of the materials have been quite location-specific).
Bonus points for using an open format for your slides/materials. ;-) -Mel 2008/5/3 Bartek, Matthew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, > > > > I found your email address online.
