What *I* would like to work on is a listing of non-technical talks by Apache committers that have good slides, and have been presented well at an ApacheCon (or other major event), from people who might be willing to present those or similar slides at other events.\
Think of it as a curated roster of existing Apache speakers/talks that might be part of a future "ASF Speaker's Bureau", focused on non-technical talks. We have a lot of great speakers and proven talks they've given; but it would be helpful to speakers and learners alike to have a better way to organize them. Early beta version of a public listing: https://whimsy.apache.org/events/talks Currently derived from static data, but would be derived from contents of the yaml files as noted below in the future. It would be useful to categorize by topic, which events the talks were given at, and possibly link this to the "Local Speakers" app other folks are working on so companies interested in inviting speakers know where they're located (all opt-in, obviously).
