I will soon upload the source for my "Basic Use" slides. The source of my
"The Cathedral and the Bazaar" lecture is already online on Quad-Pres'
site, but it is a less sophisticated lecture.
A few comments on the existing page:
1. s/postsccript/postscript/
2. I would not recommend MagicPoint if I were you. It creates huge
Post-Script files and its HTML output is lacking (either plaintext without
any markup or huge GIFs). If you like using it fine, but I think it's a
sub-standard tool.
The OpenOffice/KOffice tools provide a viable alternative for it if you
want a WYSIWYG slides creator, and LaTeX is more than enough for the
non-WYSIWYG crowd.
