They said they'd make a CD with all the slides and send them out, I also hope they actually put them online somewehere (there are several I'd like to read). We could ping Erich K. for that. In case anyone cares, here are mine: http://amath.colorado.edu/faculty/fperez/talks/0710_nsf.pdf I had a slide on Sage but stopped there for a minute to describe it and highlight it (I was running out of time). Cleve Moler was in the audience, and he chuckled when he saw the previous matlab-looking ipython slides, and I mentioned Sage could call directly matlab. Sage was mentioned either verbally or in slides a few more times (I think Stephen Watt did, I don't recall who else). I think it's an interesting initiative from NSF, as it has a strong computational and interdisciplinary focus. We'll see how mad the submission process is, because they've been advertising this VERY heavily (workhsops at IPAM, MSRI, DC headquarters, etc).
