Good point, so far we make it clear that the extended abstracts will be
published online, but haven't specified anything for the presentation slides.
People will be likely making last-minute edits to their slides shortly before
they present, so this would be something I would prefer to bring up during
the workshop.

Also, some researchers may not want to share their slides, for example if
these contain very early results, so I think we could bring this up during
the workshop and discuss possible objections to this, if any. I support open
access, but I'm also sensitive to the reasons why some people may not want to
make all their presentation material publicly available, so perhaps we can
have an opt-out system where open access to presentation files is the default
and if someone wants to opt out they can express this during the workshop.

Sounds reasonable?

May I suggest that the CFP include a statement that accepted researchers
will be expected to provide a copy of their presentation for free
distribution online?

I think it is valuable to be explicit and up-front about open access; in
this way, open access becomes the norm.
