Have you checked out some of the older DConf pages where the 
slides aren't still available? That's a little frustrating. In my 
opinion, it reflects poor organizational skills.

The best time to get the slides is before the presenter speaks. 
No slides, no speak. Also, if they need to make changes, they can 
always upload a newer version.
