I have a few large presentations to give on ReactOS in September, and as a group we don't have any previous presentations stored. Although not a weekly event, a few of us do give presentations from time to time, which means we are probably going through the same process of compiling a presentation from scratch.
So I was wondering if anyone was interested in putting our heads together and compiling a default presentation which we can use. This first default presentation should cover topics such as what ROS is and what it's goals are, and then move onto a description of the system, finalising with a short demonstration.
As ROS grows, requests for us to give these sort of things will obviously grow too, including more detailed discussions on ROS internals. Therefore, as more specialised presentations are given, we could store these too, eventually offering a nice collection of presentations which we can pull out when a need arises.
So, any volunteers?

I'm willing to assist with the content in any manner possible. Maybe the first order of business would be picking a file format!

We have already 3 presentation on our svn server: http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/press-media/presentations/
Although, it would be nice if other people would upload the previous presentations as well.
Please keep the svn server the default storage so that we can track the versions, etc. It's easy to provide a download link so that you can provide a direct link on a website (simply use the we "ViewVC" webinterface from http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/ and use the related "download" link).
We also need a press kit for ReactOS 0.3.0 which we can send to various press before the 0.3.0 release. http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/press-media/
I am collecting and writing some an generic ReactOS 0.3.0 article and further information about ReactOS, facts, etc. Would be nice if some could help me with that. If you have ReactOS articles, flyers, screenshots, etc. on your harddisc please share the data (upload to svn server if necessary ask a dev).
Additionally we are still waiting for some website frontpage text content proposals, see for more information: http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2006-May/thread.html#8295
As a standard default format I want to suggest basic HTML!
(no header, no advanced html tags, simply the below explained tags)
Use "h1" to "h6" as heading: e.g. <h1>headline</h1>
Use "p" as paragraph: e.g. <p>this is a sample paragraph</p>
Use "br" as line brack within a paragraph: e.g. <p>this is a <br> sample paragraph</p>
Use "b" as bold, "i" as italic and "u" as underline: e.g. <p><b>this</b> <i>is</i> a <i><u>sample paragraph</u></i></p>
The biggest advantage is that this format is universal, you can write and format it with everything (notepad, vi, wordpad, dreamweaver, frontpage, etc.) and additionally you can open it with even more apps (Word, OpenOffice and hundreds more. Besides, no transformation/konvert process is needed. You can copy& paste it in our Wiki ( http://www.reactos.org/wiki/ ), on our main Website (RosCMS), in Word/Writer/AbiWord/etc.
To generate a PDF or similar, simply open it with Word/Writer/etc. and use a plugin/inbuild function. To provide a word, open document, etc. file format simply open (with the related app) the html file re-save it with the requested format.
So, in my opinion there is no excuse for not using basic html (no header, no advanced html tags, simply the above explained tags).
Just use the above explained html tags (and provide additional formats if necessary) ;-)
For images use JPEG (80-90% quality) or PNG (depends on the file-size and usage).

We have a rather nice presentation done by Steven Edwards, I suggest we use it as a base.
Though we need something fresh and reworked too, because the Steven's one is already outdated in some parts (ReactOS progressed quite a while since presentation were used last time).
And that's absolutely right we need some specialized presentations too - they attract interest a lot.
