Anyone can do whatever they want with whatever level of attribution they feel is appropriate where my decks are concerned. No need to complicate things with policies or best practice guidelines for anyone to worry about. Just do what feels right.
Thank you for sharing the world of the ASF, I hope my decks can help (I have many more I'd you are looking for something specific).

A best practice is certainly to license your content under the Apache license or a permissive style CC license, and to provide some sort of credit back if you re-use a bunch of content. It would be interesting if ComDev wanted to writeup some details of best practices for how to provide attribution and licensing metadata in common slide creation software, especially Apache OpenOffice. We do have plenty of Apache-related presentations that many Apache committers have re-used from each other back and forth. For a legal perspective, you'd need to talk to your lawyer. 8-) - Shane
