Hi James, obviously I know about these presentations as there are on the same page as the empty templates ;-)
However, as you pointed out there are in PDF format which is quite difficult to edit or modify. I agree that once you create your own presentation it is good to distribute it as PDF, but there is nothing for creating the presentation in the first place - generic graphic, designs, graphs and so on. To give you at least one example, this is one old presentation from Sun about OpenSolaris. http://opensolaris.org/os/project/wosug/files/presentation/447698.sxi It would be very time consuming to do this one just for one user group meeting. So why not to have one on OpenSolaris 2009.06? I believe that this would really help people who are not from Sun as they would be able to put together their presentations quickly. -Philip BTW some of the links on that page are no longer valid. (And many of the presentations are Sun branded.)
