I don't think there are plans to tape the presentation, so to view/hear 
it you'll have to be there. However, I'll post a link to the PDF handout 
once the presentation is over.

And if anyone that's going to the conference wants to volunteer their 
time and equipment to tape my talk, I'll certainly try to get approval 
from the conference management.

Since Smalltalk Solutions is combined with LinuxWorld / NetworkWorld 
this year, most attendees won't be familiar with Smalltalk. There are 
other Smalltalk talks at the conference that focus on one or two 
projects. My goal is to demonstrate that a whole lot of folks use 
Smalltalk for a wide variety of things by giving a lot of actual 
examples. It's a sales pitch for Smalltalk, though not a sales pitch for 
any particular flavor of Smalltalk. I plan to break up the cavalcade of 
projects with a few short demonstrations, which will take about half of 
the time in the 50-minute seminar.
