  1. This presentation seems to begin somewhere in the middle. Am I missing something?

    Could we get the full slide deck?

    Jul 29, 2008 8:47 AM by Joel Confino

    It looks like the beginning of the presentation is cut off, but maybe we could at least see the full slide deck? It looks like things start around slide 8, and I'm very interested in what slides 1-7 say (OK, slide 1 is just the title, so how about slides 2-7).

    The slides are online here:

    jaoo.dk/aarhus2007/tracks/show_track.jsp?trackO...

    Alas one needs a username and password to access them - as the video's been made public I guess I'm wondering why the slides aren't especially as they are played inline with the video.

    I'm also suspecting the video starts somewhere in the middle because the cameraman was late as was the steward who should've introduced Wayne. Ooops....

    Hey guys, since JAOO sessions are no more than one hour long, and this video indicates 47 minutes, it seems that probably about 5 minutes or so are missing from the beginning. I suspect that the speaker started their session early since neither the track host nor the camera man were prepared.

    That's a shame.

    Back to the original question then - is there any chance we will get to see the whole slide deck?

Using ITIL V3 as a Foundation for SOA Governance
