[advocacy-discuss] Presentations templates and archives

[Philip Gorwell]

Hi James,

obviously I know about these presentations as there are on the same page
as the empty templates ;-)

However, as you pointed out there are in PDF format which is quite
difficult to edit or modify. I agree that once you create your own
presentation it is good to distribute it as PDF, but there is nothing
for creating the presentation in the first place - generic graphic,
designs, graphs and so on. 

To give you at least one example, this is one old presentation from Sun
about OpenSolaris. 
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/wosug/files/presentation/447698.sxi
It would be very time consuming to do this one just for one user group
meeting.

So why not to have one on OpenSolaris 2009.06?

I believe that this would really help people who are not from Sun as
they would be able to put together their presentations quickly.


-Philip



BTW some of the links on that page are no longer valid.
(And many of the presentations are Sun branded.)
