Hi there---
viguy <http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596522346/index.html>Speakers, UG
leaders, or anyone else interested in improving your presentations, let
me send you our new book "slide:ology
<http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596522346/index.html>". Garr Reynolds
(Presentation Zen) just wrote on his blog
<http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2008/08/slideology-my-favorite-presentation-book-of-all-time.html>
"Nancy Duarte, the Principle of Duarte Design (the firm behind the
creation of Al Gore's Oscar-winning presentations), has published a
presentation book for the rest of us. It's called 'slide:ology: The Art
and Science of Creating Great Presentations.' 'slide:ology' is
practical, it's highly visual, and it's beautiful. I love this book."
Watch the book trailer <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UI439bKA1Q>.
Gabrielle Roth and Selena Deckelmann presented "Running a Successful
User Group" at OSCON 2008 in Portland this year. Here's their slide show
