Hi, Isabel;
   Sorry for the super slow reply... I just now sat down to review as
requested (and just now realized how close this preso is!)

Excellent! Thank you for doing this!

Yes, this is *comically* bad :-)

This format also seems to be rough to review. I'm having a very tough
time following the flow. Can you share a .ppt(x) or odp file?

One thing that I find useful when giving a "The Apache Way" talk is to
stress that *the foundation exists for the benefit of the projects*.
By using that as a central theme, you can make points like:
* The foundation does the "uninteresting stuff" to "Let the coders code"
* We provide the legal, infra and administrative support for projects to
operate
* There is an off-the-shelf license so you (the project/coder) don't
need to worry about it
* There's  distinct on-ramp to becoming a project at the ASF
* ... and so on

I structured a similar presentation[1] (feel free to borrow/use it, as
that's what I did) around this topic and use the slides as ways to
illustrate the point.

How do we view notes?

Side note and maybe a nitpick, the attributions don't follow CC best
practices
(https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Best_practices_for_attribution).
It's close to "This is a pretty good attribution", but is missing the CC
license type. My typical format in presentations is:
Title of image - Author - CC-XYZ - https://flickr.com/link/to/author

While this isn't the "perfect" attribution per best practices, it ticks
all the boxes except a direct link to the original while still fitting
on a slide
