Put presentations/slides on about?

[Ainali]

I couldn't find any of the presentations that have been done by us on about. Perhaps we should add somewhere both the presentations that have been given and perhaps also a template slidedeck for a general presentation about the foundation and possibly specific ones about the standard and stewardship?

They're not published for 2 reasons:

1. So that the content is new to the audience when we present it.
2. The slides don't have speaker notes, and aren't designed to be self-explanatory on their own. This blogpost argues for why you shouldn't share slides.

I have no objections to publishing the slides for presentations that are already in the public domain (for example a blogpost with links to the slides and video for Ben's DecidimFest talk).

My main reason for putting them there was not to share them with an outside audience, but to have them as a resource for employees of the Foundation. It should be easy for anyone here to find them as both inspiration for new presentations and as a historical reference of what we have used before.

I agree that a blogpost after a presentation with a summary of key points is much better for an outside audience, but that doesn't contradict what I am aiming for. Since our ethos is to put anything on about that isn't explicitly secret, the question becomes, are they really secret?

Update: what about creating:

• activities/communications/giving-presentations
• activities/communications/past-talks

Giving presentations should include:

• links to brand.publiccode.net, illustrations.publiccode.net, our core decks
• advice on preparing and practicing your talk
• tailoring your talk to your audience

Past talks should include:

• links to any video, tweets or blogposts
• PDF of the slides (especially if they were very tailored to the audience)

I like the activities/communications/giving-presentations!

Perhaps the past talks should live on the Blog as they are 'ephemera'.
