Hi Adam,

There are a whole bunch of presentations available here:

  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/marketing/

And a lot of marketing resources on live.gnome.org, including links to the
official logos and so on. I don't think the centralised talks thing worked
very well because it's difficult to submit talk content. We should either
set up a page of links on the wiki (easy), or figure out a more sensible way
of hosting/managing centralised talks (harder). I think it would be ideal if
we could have a central resource for this kind of stuff, particularly if we
could preview, read and archive them in the one spot. That's harder than
just linking to them, though. :-)

(Cc'ing public marketing list.)

Thanks,

- Jeff
