Here they are: https://github.com/fniessen/stage-latex-dunkerque-2012 Please note that -- even if the event was on last Wed -- the slides aren't really in a terminal state yet. In particular, some Org blocks aren't rende= red as they should because of bugs in the old LaTeX exporter. I'm sure they'll = go away with the new Beamer exporter (as it's already good when exporting to a standard document, with the new LaTeX exporter). Best regards, Fabrice
