ApacheCon Slides

Slides for ApacheCon

Technology Used

The slides are generated from asciidoctor markup and displayed with reveal.js. This means the content can be kept under version control and exported to a number of formats other than HTML.

How to Build with Maven (recommended)

To install the needed dependencies on OSX run:

install-deps.sh

Then run:

mvn clean compile

How to Build with Ruby or Node (minimal support)

It is possible to generate the slides with other technologies, please see instructions at https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoctor-revealjs/.

For node install the dependencies:

npm i --save asciidoctor@^2.0 @asciidoctor/reveal.js

And generate the slides via:

node convert-slides.js

Some of the assets will need to be moved and the apachecon.css theme included in the HTML.

How to View the Slides (Maven)

Once built, the generated slides can be found at:

target/generated-slides/index_en.html

Just open the index_en.html in a browser to view the slides.

Some features require the slides to be viewed via a http/https URL you can do this by running:

mvn jetty:run-exploded

And go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/index_en.html in a browser to view.

If you add ?print-pdf at the end of the URL, you can then print the slide deck into a PDF document.
