Whoa, I wasn't very careful with my wording. It was intended as a quick 
sketch of the structure, not as the exact text on the slides. Here's an 
attempt at improving some of the slides

Motivation
	- Few graphics cards with FOSS drivers
	- Poor support for smaller customers in embedded space
	- Hobbyists and hardware hacking

Open Hardware
	- Disclosure of hardware design specs
	- FOSS compatible
	- Long tail
		- Hardware not interesting to big companies
		- Support for more platforms
	- Greater self-sufficiency for FOSS community

Economics
	- FOSS design is easy
	- Hardware is not Software
		- Prototyping
		- Testing
		- Fabrication
	- How to get actual hardware?

The OGP's Hardware (was "The Hardware")
	- Graphics Chip
	- Desktop Graphics Card
	- Milestones
		- Specification
		- Design
		- Prototyping Platform

Requirements
	- 3D desktops / GUI
	- Embedded applications
	- Minimalistic design
	- Low power consumption
	- Fast, simple, high-yield, affordable

The OGA Specification (was "GPU Architecture: OGA")
	[...]

Hardware Designs (was "Graphics Hardware")
	[...]

Demo of OGD1P
	- You're looking at it!
	- OGD1P board in this PC
	- Programmed to function as a primitive graphics card
	- It works, but no hardware rendering yet

Questions

I added these changes and applied my OGD template (including edited 
images) to get

At least slides 10, 11, 13 and 18 still need formatting work. Perhaps 
they should be split, or simplified. Oh, and the date the speech will 
be given should be included, and Timothy, your name should be on the 
title slide!
