[Ambassadors] Pre-made presentations

[rafael liu]

My original intention was something more wide than just organization.. But
that's a first step, let's work on this then we see where do we head from
it.

I didn't know about the /CommunityArchitecture/Presentations page. It's
really more like I would like /Presentations to be, with all that Abstract
and Target Audience stuff. I'm not saying we should make such descriptions
for past presentations, but we should structure the page so people know that
there are fields that should be filled. I think those fields shoud be:

Abstract: what's this presentation about? Maybe software versions too
Target Audience: technical guys, publicity, students, etc
Date: when was it created
Format: odp, pdf, etc
Language: language
Notes: general notes

(maybe people would give up when see all those fields? hehe =p)

Can we really consolidate those two pages?.. Maybe we could talk to
CommunityArchitecture team to post their presentations on the new page
(maybe on a session of their own).

I'll order the presentations by date in their own session and put the date
on the description. We would maintain this format for these pre-our-changes
presentations.

What do you think?
