 This document is an outline representing a generic "Introduction to OSGeo" sort of presentation.  Our intention here is not to actually provide the presentation, but rather to provide fodder which can be mashed into a real slide deck -- obviously, different people will have different needs and styles of presenting.  For example, we might have a house mix, a 12" dance mix, a spoken word version, etc.
