Currently, slides become part of the proceedings. That means that anything in one of those "software versions" will have to be exported to ppt, pptx, or pdf eventually.

The advantage of your #2 is that people can see what a presenter is pointing to with a laser pointer. My estimate from the past two IETFs is that fewer than 2% of presentations use laser pointers, and even some of those did not require knowing what was being pointed to. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html. https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/vmeet
