Please note: If you publish a link here on this publicly archived
mailing list it is "posted publicly" right now.
I've browsed your slides and have some nitpicking comments:
Slide 3 "Speaker introduction"
- I would use
Using FOSS at home and work since YEAR
Rationale: I do not mention things that should not be mentioned
like an OS that nobody wants to use. ;-)
- You wrote
"package maintainer, but not an official Debian Developer"
I do not know the audience but IMHO that's a detail that is not
that interesting - thank you for working on those packages BTW!
Slide 10 "Names and Definitions"
- Open Source "Launched circa 1998"
-> that's misleading. Open Source is way older. I guess you
mean that the community settled to a definition of Open Source
- Specific words used matter less than principles followed
-> I *really* like this sentence! :-)
Remark about "Cautions in FOSS"
- In several cases I consider the Freedom to create a solution
for a problem that was solved by someone else not helpful.
For instance I do not think that having 2-3 "major desktops"+
2-3 "main editory" etc. not helpful for the global acceptance
of Linux. I know lots of users who simply want something that
works and not the "burden to decide between different solutions".
And yes, I know that's a controversal opinion amongst developers
who always want the freedom to pick from.
BTW, since some time I'm using this slide
https://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20210321_fossasia_stay_home/stay_home.pdf#page=5
to somehow visualise what Debian is. In your case you could replace the
pretty unknown wordnet by some package of yours. (There is also some talk
with video coverage[1] featuring that slide.)
Thanks for sharing your slides in advance and asking for comments.
Good luck for the talk
Andreas.
