Where will these presentations ultimately be hosted?  Will we be paying 
to keep the Arinex site up for the next few years or will it be moved to 
  OSGeo hardware?  I've got much of the workshop materials as well, 
though not all.  Presenters have started putting up their own links.  We 
can link to their sites or pull it down to ensure a long-term archive. 
I favour the latter.

I also think we should make it clear that CC-by-sa is our recommended 
license, but we are able to distribute it so long as they permit us. 
Many presenters will not be able to make such a license fly, so we need 
to make it clear that they can simply grant us distribution rights 
(CC-by-nd as it happens, or simply an email saying "Sure put it up.").
