I think we should probably leave it to the presenter to decide whether to
credit the author or not. This is so because it might be hard at times to
know who the original author is. For example, I am looking at these slides:
http://ignum.dl.sourceforge.net/project/postgres-xc/Presentation/201111_OSIDays_Bangalore/Postgres-XC_in_OSI.pdf

Even though the first slide has Ashutosh's name, I seriously doubt if he is
the orignal author of those slides. At least 90% of the content is authored
by Mason or Suzuki-san or me or may be someone else. This may or may not be
true with other presentations, but then someone needs to really look at
those all presentations and mark appropriate credits. Till then,
attributing the Development Group might be the right way forward.

Thanks,
Pavan
