The presentation was indeed on Linux, I can't remember now whether I used OpenOffice or Google Docs, probably the latter, but I use both, depending on the circumstances. I always make sure to have the Google docs version available, that way if some catastrophe occurs, I can borrow any laptop and have the presentation up in seconds.
The changes for the strawman proposal were made the night before the presentation - Devoxx is good for that, you can change slides right up to the last minute. I will be submitting the abstract for JavaOne, and I hope it makes it - then again I put it in for last year and it didn't make the cut - competition is fierce for those few slots (I know, I have been on the selection committee for the past 3-4 years), but it would be nice to have an excuse to update it with real Java closures examples, and maybe to demo lombok on NetBeans or IDEA this time as well.
