We describe how the presentation is updated here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Presentation

The extra information that I think would be valuable to add to your wiki 
would be to explain how you cut and paste images into your poster.  (Do 
you select a page of icons at a time and copy across, or drag one icon 
at a time, or ...?)

I had issues with the formatting in OpenOffice, LibreOffice worked ok. 
I've updated the wiki to say so.
