Hello Chris! I just want to say that I also see value in the Training project. I would have thought that these resources would really have found a "market" during these times with all of the work-from-home, webinars, virtual presentations and conferences.
I'm not really sure why we aren't more active, but I can share my experience! I was enthusiastic to join the project as a result of Justin's presentation at ApacheCon 2019[1]. It was that in-person contact with someone enthusiastic about the project that inspired me to contribute. When I started playing with the available code, I learned quite a bit from the tooling and resources. I lost a bit of momentum because it's difficult to see the impact that my contributions make: who is using the available resources? Are they actually useful and filling a purpose? Without a specific, valuable target in mind, it's difficult to keep your motivation up! Anyway, I really encourage that you give the talk at ApacheCon -- it's what got me started and you're good at it :D Maybe a good area to help out wouldn't be to brainstorm ways together to kick the project back into a cycle with more contributions -> more feedback -> more utility -> more community! For example, I think that opening the repo to all Apache committers was a really good idea, and maybe a bit of publicity would be enough to trigger interest. I remain interested by the Training project, and thanks for starting up the conversation. I'll try to think of some good ideas so that we have some juicy content for the next board report.
