So I have a talk this Thursday to the MPLS.pm group about OpenGuides. Since I haven't given a public talk in years, I was wondering if anyone would care to comment on my slides.
Slide 2: "A Open Source Project" should be "An Open Source Project"; "metadtata" should be "metadata"; "an geodata application" should be "a geodata application" (also see comment on slide 3). It would also be more consistent to have the first point start "A Collection". Finally, why all the capital letters?
Long forgotten germanic roots? Where I always want to capitalize a noun? Fixed.
Slide 3: I'd put a comma after "OpenGuides", and take the brackets away from "Geodata". Also "a geodata application" is a bit of an ugly phrase; how about "a geographically-aware application", or "a geoaware application"?
Fixed
Slide 4: "seperated" should be "separated"; and why is "Metadata" capitalised? Can you actually do the "all restaurants open at noon" search?
Fixed.
I can't perform the search yet, but I hope to have something that works before Thursday.
Slide 5: Why are "Long", "Lat", and "Searching" capitalised?
fixed.
Slide 6: I'd change "first US guide" to "first US OpenGuide" (or do we prefer "Open Guide"?)
I went with Open Guide because I remember hex's Branding guidelines at one point said "OpenGuides" or "The Open Guide to"
Slide 7: Either take the leading "The" away from the first point, or add one to the second point.
Fixed
Slide 8: Earle is spelt "Earle", not "Earl" :)
Fixed with my apologies to Earle I knew it I just didn't write it.

I'll have this re-published to the URL above in a second. Thank you so much for everything.
