Another thing I wanted to bring up is donation of existing content. We have (partial) trainings on HBase, Hadoop ecosystem basics, Kafka and a few other minor things ready. But they are PowerPoint.
The colleagues from inovex have their own existing material, also in PowerPoint. I _hope_ that we'd get other material as well. Do we want to accept material no matter the format? Do we require it to be in a (yet to be decided) canonical format? Does it need to go through a normal "proper" review? I thought about this for a while and it comes back to a point we talked about in another thread: Do we have proper releases or do we just tag various trainings with various maturities? I could imagine a "staging" area for donated material and then a "beta" and a "ga" layer. Or some other verbiage (could even follow the ASF model of having "podlings" which can graduate). Either way: Opinions? I'm looking forward to actually working with some content ;-)
