Slides.... or lessons from... Re: Minor remarks about DebianDay at LinuxTag 2005



Hi,

Wolfgang moderated the debian day at Linuxtag and posted some conclusions to 
debian-event-eu, of which some I will quote here.

For the video team it would also be of GREAT help if everybody has her or his 
slides of the talks ready well in advance (say, the day before debian day, so 
the 8th of july), so the video crew dont need to go after the speakers or 
capture the slides with cameras.

So, please provide your slides (in pdf or postscript, no tex, html, or other 
source formats please) until july, 8th. Any volunteers to collect those (in a 
central place) and keep track of this ?
