IMO it seems good as conversation starter -- minor issues only:

It seemed a bit overdone to have Oma's face show up four times at the 
beginning; every second card. Admittedly she's cute, but for me that 
just made it more of a jolt the third and fourth time she shows up. As 
opposed to having her show again at the end, which did seem appropriate.

And...the final page of "Community Leaders", puzzled me in several ways:

1) Does "Community Leaders" signify an official designation, ie., 
"Leaders of Community Groups"? Or is it an unofficial opinion, that 
these people are small-c "community leaders". And if the latter, whose 
opinion is it?

2) Is there a meaning to the arrangement of the pictures/names? It's 
not alphabetical. Is it random? It could be -- although:

3) The upper left spot, Manu Sporny, Digital Bazaar, is the only one 
with no W3C position specified, and the only one with an e-mail 
provided. So that position, at least, seems unlikely to be random. But 
I'm not sure why it's been done. —Perhaps the Copyright by Digital 
Bazaar, at the bottom, is related to providing this e-mail at the 
upper left? If so: is it indicating that this is a Digital Bazaar 
project, and that's who should be contacted/supported? (Especially 
combined with the DB logo on card #1, which I now see, having missed 
it the first time). —So I'm not sure I understand the relationship 
between Digital Bazaar, the W3C, and the project very well, based on 
the slide deck.

Perhaps all these things are explained clearly by the talk. But that's 
what I get from just the deck itself.
