Members of the DuraSpace user communities frequently present useful information at various conferences and user group meetings. Some of the presentations are useful resources and can easily be included in the KnowledgeBase. Below are some general guidelines.

• Select presentation slides which describe a topic reasonably well even if the audience was not present to hear the presenter
• Select presentations topics that will stand the test of time and will not be out-of-date with the next software release 
• If possible, provide both a Powerpoint filenative presentation file (.PPT, .ODP, etc.), in case other members of the community would like to re-use the slides, as well as a PDF version
