[OSGeo-Conf] Re: Conference Presentations

[Gavin Fleming]

...in addition at 2008 we had a 'presenters prep room' where we asked
all presenters to upload their presentations to network folders set up
for each session, in case they had not submitted them earlier or had
made changes.

Then the presentation laptop in each room could pull off the
presentations and we had them to upload to the website. 

OCS certainly worked nicely for this process and facilitated the
abstract->presentation/ full paper workflow.

Folks,

It is a proven fact that many presentations are not finalized till the
night before - in some cases the presentation isn't even started till
a week before presentation.

Are we outlawing these presenters?
