Questions: I imagine the Recommended Reading section is going to be
kept quite focused (the 'best' stuff). Could be useful to add general
links elsewhere e.g.  at http://wiki.okfn.org/Presentations

If we are going down the route of pulling together general talks
materla (videos etc) I'm always a little sceptical of curated lists
unless they are supposed to be absolutely top stuff because they go
out of date so quickly. I'd prefer something like an agreed tag for
blog posts. E.g. see:

http://rufuspollock.org/tags/talks/
http://blog.okfn.org/category/talks/ <--- unfortunately here we have
many 'external' talks (need to be stricter on categories ;-0

A nice one on Open Biblio (only one there in category talks):
http://openbiblio.net/2011/04/06/talk-at-uksg-2011-conference-on-open-bibliography/

A related activity that would be very useful would be downloading and
caching on OKFN vimeo account or archive.org some OKFN presentations
that are hosted elsewhere (and which might disappear). Digging around
I found:
