Hi all, we, the Apache Training PPMC, would like to tell you about the Apache Training (incubating) project.
We at Apache build all sorts of great software. Some people even execute trainings for Apache projects. With the enormous pace most of the projects are on the way, it’s almost impossible to keep training material up-to-date. And even if you might know a given project, preparing training material might be a little too much. Also even if you are a great coder, whipping up presentations might not be your favorite thing to do. Apache Training was created especially to help with all of this. We created a framework for simply writing presentations in a way they can be easily created, versioned, branched, tagged whatsoever. We would like to make Apache Training the place you look first if you are in need for Apache related training or presentation material. As you probably know your projects best, who would be better suited to actually help with creating this material, if not you? That’s why the Apache Training PPMC has turned on the commit permissions for all Apache committers. We trust that you will use these rights wisely. However we do have one restriction: If you want to contribute to the fundamental presentation framework and the tooling, please use PRs. But when it comes to content, feel free to add and/or edit your projects under as you want: https://github.com/apache/incubator-training/tree/develop/content To get you started in no-time, we provide Maven archetypes for generating your presentation skeleton. In order to use this please just run: mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.training -DarchetypeArtifactId=content-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0 This will ask you for a group-id, artifact-id, version and a package-name and as soon as you have provided them, will generate your new presentation. In order to now build the presentation, change into the freshly created directory and run: mvn package You can then run your presentation by opening the following file in your browser: target/generated-slides/index.html We hope Apache Training will help you and your projects. The Apache Training (incubating) PPMC
