No, not really. As with any good presentation, what should be in it depends on your audience. In particular, are you talking about what the ASF actually is and our background, or just the theories of the Apache Way? Is this about how we actually use it at the ASF specifically, or is it about the general principles as guiding lights for some other community? Personally, I find explaining the basics of what the Way should be different than explaining the actual implementation the Foundation and many projects actually use, in terms of the specific rules vs. best practices we have. For overview info - what the ASF actually is - look at various State Of The Feather presentations from the past couple of ApacheCons. Along with the speakers/slides page, many folks use SlideShare. Separately, I've long thought about trying to get a side thing doing open source curriculum, so if you have any stories about your experiences working with the university or the professors you're partnering with, please share! - Shane > > If the respective answers are no and yes, I'll be happy to produce a > deck for the talk on Thursday and put it in the slide store [2]. > > Other thoughts/comments welcome > > [1] > http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/TheApacheWay15.pdf > > [2] https://community.apache.org/speakers/slides.html > > -- > Daniel Ruggeri
