All of that sounds like a good idea to me -- something like
github.com/biopython/presentations, with an inclusive view of what
qualifies as a presentation? That would be a handy for building new
material, or for others curious about these things. (Most of our talks are
on SlideShare under various accounts, but it doesn't hurt to control the
source material ourselves.)

I have the LaTeX sources for the BOSC 2012 Biopython Project Update talk
and abstract, and also my BOSC 2010 talk on Bio.Phylo/GSoC2009 if you'd
like.
