Hi everyone, I'm sorry for the long silence and I'm sorry to begin almost all my mails to this list with the exact same apology. I stopped reading ASF mailing lists for a few months but plan to resume doing so.
I still believe the idea of the Training project is a good one. For me personally though the founding of the project almost exactly coincided with a big change in careers which left me with very little spare time. We still have content that we'd love to donate but it requires a lot of work to convert from PowerPoint and update the content etc. Realistically, that's not going to happen anytime soon. We talked about the restrictive donation policies (for which I am to blame) before and I believe no one was against changing any of that (basically a formality now, no? and as Chris pointed out everyone should have commit access anyway. Thank you everyone for stepping up with the reports and content and especially the tooling updates Chris, thank you!
