Slide 8: Not sure if "cp -a /usr/src/redhat/ rpmbuild" is a good idea.
What if there are already files in /usr/src/redhat? I suggest using
rpmdev-setuptree. Also you should mention redhat-rpm-config and
rpmdevtools packages.

Slide 15: Instead of
        cp README* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/doc/%{name}-%{version}
        cp COPYING $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/doc/%{name}-%{version}
you should simply use 
        %doc README* COPYING

And if you use "cp", you should use it with the -p switch to preserve
timestamps and avoid multilib fun.

Slide 19: You should also mention "rpmbuild -ba".

Sile 26: No need to wait for a new release, you can also get your
package into a release as an update.

The rest of the presentation looks good to me. Well done!
