Most contributors will at least make their slide presentations 
available.  Will there be any recording of the presentations?

Koustubha,
Its fine by us.  We're happy to be supporting the conference and you can 
use our contribution as you see fit.
What I would like to see is a table or display place where we can leave 
our brochures at the conference for anyone who is interested.  There was 
a table at KohaCon10 in Wellington with an interesting array of 
information handouts.
Regards,
Bob
