I think things worked fairly well last year: people went to the Wiki and 
uploaded their talks...

http://www.europython2008.eu/TalkMaterials

I'm not sure if the abstracts/schedule was archived last year, but I did make 
an abstracts page on the 2008 Wiki as, having seen the inconsistent archiving 
policy in action for EuroPython over the years, I thought that an alternative 
location would be nice. This brings me to the following:

I think Slideshare probably gets the materials out there and up into the best 
results for searches, and all that Web 2.0 stuff. It also offers some 
redundancy in case sites get rearranged and pages disappear. Let us point 
people to such sites from the Wiki so that they can get their materials out 
there effectively, in addition to uploading stuff to the Wiki, of course.
