Convert out slides to something we can store in the repository

[mitar]

We should convert our slides (currently in the OpenOffice format) into something we can store in the repository. Maybe using reveal.js for them.

Ask @mitar for the latest version of them, when you start working on it.

I have put my slides from today into repository. They are in the gh-pages branch of outreach repository so that they can be accessed directly from the web. See here.

(I suggest people clone the repository, so that they don't depend on WiFi at a conference, but it is better to have slides available online, so that we can link to them from blog posts and elsewhere where we are talking about the conference.)

So let's create now in that branch slides for future events. In the past, I was trying to create a set of "basic" slides to reuse, but it never really worked. What worked the best for me is to simply create new copy of slides for each event, maybe modify a bit, merge with some older slides, and then use that, storing it for later, to be used to copy and merge.

So I would just suggest that we are adding each event as separate directory and slowly evolve the slides, instead of trying to create one set of slides for all events. I don't think that's possible. Let's just archive all slides and then for the next event we can check which slides are the most suitable and adapt them.

Slides are meant so that next time you copy them over and make a new version. Maybe there is not much to change, but often is good to adapt to the public. I have never had an event until now where there was nothing to change: length difference, something new available to show, some focus you want to make.
