Hi,
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.
http://chris.prather.org/og_slides/slides.html
Also I feel I should publicly thank Kake and Ivorw for the material
they had online that I shamelessly stole ... "researched" for these.
Thanks
-Chris

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?
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"?
Slide 4: "seperated" should be "separated"; and why is
"Metadata" capitalised?
Can you actually do the "all restaurants open at noon" search?
Slide 5: Why are "Long", "Lat", and "Searching"
capitalised?
Slide 6: I'd change "first US guide" to "first US OpenGuide" (or
do we
prefer "Open Guide"?)
Slide 7: Either take the leading "The" away from the first point, or
add one to the second point.
Slide 8: Earle is spelt "Earle", not "Earl" :)

Long forgotten germanic roots? Where I always want to capitalize a

Fixed.
I can't perform the search yet, but I hope to have something that
works before Thursday.

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.

should we be sticking up all the presentations we've done into a central collection
somewhere for reference (and plundering when we get put on the spot and ask to create a
presentation quickly)?
Happy to put up my Wikisym 06 presentation and paper.

Yep, I think this is a good idea. Maybe we could start by just having
a page on the dev wiki where we link to these things? I can provide
hosting of papers/slides/etc if anyone needs it (as, I'm sure, can
many others on the list).

Speaking of:
The talk I gave went well. The slides are (now permanently) available
at http://twincities.openguides.org/mplspm_slides/index.html
I think I may have gotten some people interested in adding to the
guide, and I certainly sparked an interesting discussion of Geodata
and it's relative openness in the US vs in the UK. I also got an
offer from Dave Rolsky who runs VegGuide.org for a dump of his data
which is a very clean source of Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants
(especially here in the Cities). I also got the feeling that he might
be open to more inter-working between the guides and his website if
we have a way to standardize our interstitial communications. He (and
Ian both actually) suggested I try talking to some of the local media
and Dave knew someone who might be interested in that vein. I may try
to follow up on that sometime soon and start trying to pimp the Twin
Cities guide some more.
