Well, I have some more details now. My presentation will be 30 minutes 
in length, and it will be in Dutch. I've made a first set of slides in 
English, so that we can discuss them here. It's really just an outline 
so far, but I figured I'd release early, release often. You can find it 
at

The contents are a bit of a mix: there's an overview of OGP and OGD1, 
I'm going to talk about the OHF for a bit, add some of my own ideas of 
how Open Hardware could be defined, with a touch of Terry Hancock's 
ideas here and there (read his excellent "Towards a free matter 
economy" series in Free Software Magazine if you don't know what I'm 
talking about).

Here are  the key slides so you can get a quick idea and for easy 
quoting and replying:

3. History of the OGP
4. Economics: Software vs. Hardware
5. Project Organisation
6. Products: OGD1
8. OGD1 and Beyond
9. The Open Hardware Foundation
10. Open Hardware Philosophy
13. Open Hardware and Freedom

Cheers,

Lourens
