Good news!

Here is a link to all of the slides <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zapObPIk1QdQebbTI4oYFGhxIfdOaXpz?usp=sharing> hosted on a shared LF drive. You are of course welcome to download these and add them elsewhere if you’d like.

Second, Slideshare <https://www.slideshare.net/LF_OpenvSwitch/presentations> has reopened the account. I’m still working on the why it was closed but for now it’s accessible.

If there’s anything else you need on this matter, please let me know.

Emily

This is good news because we can now communicate with them as an authorized account. Unfortunately, we still don’t have an answer as to why one presentation has shut down the other presentations.
