Hello all, I don't know if this topic has been discussed before or if I missed if its aready there. But before a few weeks I had to explain to my customer "what actually open source is". I have started to create some slides myself, after I found nothing on the a.org sites. Then I was aware of:
* http://opensource.org/osi-open-source-education#presentations_developed_by_osi which is pretty good for explaining open source. However, my customer was doing stuff mostly in Java and so ASF projects were used. He was esspecially interested in the ASF licensing model, in "what people are working there" and in "what actually is the ASF". I have done some slides, but I think this could be done better if we would develop some official resources together. Of course some might say, that people who are not connected to the ASF could use this official ASF slides. But they will talk about the same things, just without ASF slides. And hopefully good slides help also to clean up with some misunderstandings. Additionally we can make sure that things, which are important to the ASF, like meritocracy are pointed out in a good way and not only with one sentence between coffee and cookie. That being said, I would love to have the chance to take some official slides when I get to my customer next time. Is there anybody who feels the same? Best regards, Christian
