Dear all

Here are the final OpenChain Curriculum Slides Release 2. Nathan and I did one more run through all I think we got everything.

Jeremiah, I believe we are good to convert.

​Please find attached a converted slide deck in .otp. The slides have been inspected, including the more detailed diagrams. I think all formatting has been preserved amazingly enough. I'm viewing both file types in LibreOffice 5.2 on Debian GNU/Linux and that is the tool I used to convert.​
 

​If it is as easy to view the .pptx for others in Free Software office tools and to convert, then I don't think we'll need to do the conversion for publishing and distribution -- the .pptx and .pdf files should be enough. Of course, if others are having troubles opening or viewing the contents, please let me know and I'll do what I can to help.

Regards,

Jeremiah


All, any last minute bugs, please let me know ASAP. We are going live tomorrow afternoon.

Regards

Shane

These slides are designed to support the OpenChain Specification Release 1.0 and are a refinement of the original curriculum slides release on the 4th of October. Most notably:
