I don't have any real idea on date yet. Probably within a month.

Perfect. Sending it over Skype (u/n saizai) is probably the easiest
way; if not I can set up a drop.

That's basically the idea - that plus some random weird shit thrown in.

I want to keep the text low and slides other than the first untitled
so as not to get in the way of the riff; I think that these were
detractions in the Notacon WSIIA setup.

IME minimalistic setups tend to allow for better riffs - think e.g.
the props on Whose Line and similar shows.

There've got to be, but I don't know 'em. Link me. :-)


FWIW in case it wasn't obvious: please don't post titles or images to
list (email me offlist), and of course speakers are welcome to submit
stuff too but won't get slated to talk aboout their own material. ;-)
