Here is a new version with opinion and silliness removed. I can't promise not to be silly at the presentation but I will keep my opinions, other than NetBeans is the finest IDE, out of it. Ideally I will go through the slides in 15 minutes (the PraxisLIVE demo will take a few minutes) and then focus on the good bits in a live demo.

Come on! What those people in Prague put together is now the basis of software at NASA and Boeing. Why, for what possible purpose, can one be cynical about that or use it as the basis for a cheap joke that means nothing at all? Really, we are all part of something that is of significance and that is why we are involved in this project. Let's be straight up proud about it and there's simply no need at all to add any tone of cynicism, or halfhearted modesty, or fake whatever it is to it. We're part of an absolutely uniquely awesome project -- the statistics are there for all to see: https://projects.apache.org/statistics.html https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/graphs/contributors https://jelastic.com/blog/software-stacks-statistics-report-q2-2018/ No need to be falsely humble in any way at all -- instead, let each and every one of your slides exude the relevance and meaningfuleness of everything we here as a community have done together over very many years and are continuing to do for free and all in the best interests of everybody. :-) Stand up straight with your shoulders back and represent everything that is good and honest about software development, which we so patently and clearly present ourselves to be in everything that we do.
