Maybe it's worth a separate thread but I think that student/audience feedback is an important part of training and the project should seriously consider some formal feedback mechanism.
For presenter purposes, I would like to have us generate general and specific feedback. General: how did you like the presentation? How were the presenter's skills? Did you get what you expected from the presentation? Specific: Do you have a good understanding of how the Apache Incubator works? Then there are topic-specific quizzes/tests. These probably should be true/false and a/b/c/d questions/answers that could be printed with OCR circles; and given as online using web technology. The quizzes might be for the audience to check their own understanding, and might be for the presenter to check their presentation skills in conveying the information. The tests might also be useful for BigCo to use in a certification examination. BigCo could use the tests to evaluate students' understanding of the material and if the student has a satisfactory score can earn "BigCo Certification of Achievement for Apache Karaf". The exact phrasing of the certification needs to be vetted with Apache Trademark/Brand but should be similar to "BigCo distribution of Apache Karaf".
