This page contains links to presentations and other key papers about the ASF and how Apache projects work that you may find useful. Many of these have been presented at ApacheCon conferences or other open source conferences.

These presentations are available under permissive licenses; please see each individual presentation for license details.

Many Apache speakers post their slides to the SlideShare website, and the FeatherCast podcast offers audio recordings of many talks and interviews.

For those who prefer videos, our many volunteers have posted

• full videos of all ApacheCon NA 2013 presentations, and
• select ApacheCon NA 2014 presentations.
• Sessions from ApacheCon 2019 and 2020

Additional slides, videos and audio recordings can also be found through the ApacheCon Past Conference Resources page.
