It's hardly surprising, given the compellingness of your gardening metaphor. I don't see a followup post with your presentation. If you are [still] interested in sharing your slides, you might consider SlideShare (http://www.slideshare.net) - a sort of YouTube for PowerPoint (with features for commenting, favoriting, embedding in blogs, etc.).

Unfortunately I was not. Movies used to play fine on my laptop, but for some reason for the .mov it said I would have to download new software Quicktime ... though I thought I already HAD Quicktime) to play it. What's more, (something's funky with sound on my home Linux box. So I didn't get a chance to watch it until this week. The in-person feedback was very useful, though! Now that I've watched the movie, I can see the eye flip, hand motions and hear the um's and verbal semicolon -- most of those, I hope, were minimalized at Penguicon by my having changed the presentation around (order of slides) so I wasn't doing as much remembering-examples-on-the-fly. Thanks!

Sounds like you had a very successful presentation. I'm happy for you. :) Additional kudos to you for possibly publishing this either online or in dead tree format (perhaps both) through a publication such as Linux Journal. You may want to see a legal advisor before entreating such an arrangement, but it sounds like you're already thinking about that sort of thing. As an aside, were you able to view the footage of your test run before Penguicon? If so, I'd be interested to know how that changed (or did not change) your presentation. Wow!!
