+1 - if easily accessible for any ASF committer (as you suggested below). I was invited to give a presentation on "What is Apache? What is Mahout? What is so cool about free software development for students? How do I contribute? (in that order)" at HPI in Potsdam. Slides are available online (warning - the explanation of the ASF itself borrows heavily from Lars' talk at Apache Con EU): http://isabel-drost.de/hadoop/slides/christoph.pdf I could provide a (possibly stripped down) version of the sources if of interest for you. In addition I have been invited* for a talk on the "what is the ASF all about" at the local meetup of the FSFE DUS (Free Software Foundation Europe Düsseldorf fellowship group) that is going to be announced as a combined invitation for dinner on Sunday evening after Froscon to FSFE and Apache people in Düsseldorf**. I would like to share the slides for that talk before the event with this list for review and comments, if that is ok with you. The resulting slide deck would of course be available for inclusion in the above repository (most likely under some CC license, depending on the images I'll include). > We could open a subfolder of that to all ASF committers to make it > easy to share such things (requires a comdev vote of course). +1 Isabel * Some time these days I should learn to think twice before inviting people for coffee: tends to result in me preparing slides - sooner or later *sigh* ;) ** If you are in are in or close to Düsseldorf that evening - feel free to join us - exact location is going to be announced real soon.
