Those are great questions Justin, my answers are in line: - Is google docs the right format?
I used google docs because personally for me it is easy to work with. But I can change the format to anything the community agrees on. - Who created the content? Did all give permission for this to be licensed > under it’s license? I created the content based on the information provided in various parts of apache.org and gave the references where appropriate. Is there anything i need to do? - Some potential IP/license issues. Where did the following come from and > how are they licensed? > - The content itself (seems to be CC-BY) > I really wasn't sure which license to use, as I thought Apache and MIT licenses refer mostly to the code. (eg, it has patent grant, and that is not really applicable to the slide?). Also i looked to other slides in apache.org to see how they are licensed but i couldn't find relevant information. > - Slide theme > Diagrams used were designed from scratch by Amardip Raol and I have his permission to use. The theme I believe is good too. > - Icons used in the slides > I have originally used couple from flaticon, but changed them to google material design icons <https://github.com/google/material-design-icons> that have Apache license. Should that be good? > - Do you have any recordings of the slides being presented? > No > > It’s seem to be currently licensed under: > https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ > > Which probably means we cannot us it [1] unless it was re-licensed, even > if it changed to CC-SA there are issues [2]. > I am happy to relicense it. I used CC-BY because I believed it was the most permissive out of all CC licenses, and I wasn't sure whether Apache license was appropriate for this kind of content. > > I’m more thinking out-loud here and perhaps some of the above could > become a check list for incoming content? > +1. Also +1 on Mirko's points, especially on: - provide a list of compatible licenses - describe the "process of relicensing" - describe a "cleanup process" to reduce "incompatible content" Thanks, Aizhamal
