Note:  Jonathan asks that you cite his material and diagrams if you use them since he created them.

Note from Jonathan about his presentation going online:

When I reviewed the slides, I realized how much of what I presented was drawn from notes and citations.  That was purposeful, because I wanted the presentation to be strongly visual, but I felt I had to prepare the "Slide supplement" material that I have also appended.  Not sure the best way to share all this online, but I'll leave that up to you.  All the citations and exhibition images are available online.  Almost all the bullet point material and all the diagrams -- branding, advocacy, etc. -- are mine and original, so I would appreciate the presentation being cited if anybody uses them.
