There were several remote people who said: "Where are the slides, yo?"

I think I also translated this from 'regular meeting' in my head :( For
the interim I believe if there are slides to be presented we need those
posted to the SIDR wg page on tools.ietf before the meeting starts.

I don't think that for the interim slides (in this case) would have been
particularly helpful. In past meetings we've had success with slides
(Sharon's given a few presentations that were slide-heavy, as has Sriram).

yes, this was my thought process jump, oops!

so far I've not seen a workable/useful shared whiteboard app :(
I'm also not super enamoured with using my personal flickr account :)
who knows what I may post there in the future.

yes.
