[DISCUSS] Remove the slides under "Community & Project Info"

[Stephan Ewen]

Hi all!

In the past, we collected slide sets under the "Community & Project Info" side.

I would like to see what the community thinks about removing them. There are currently several issues:

  - The list is not well maintained. Tthere are for example no 2018 slides at all.

  - Many slide sets are outdated. For example 2014 Flink internals are not really relevant any more.

  - When searching for certain terms, the Youtube videos and slideshare uploads appear first anyways

  - The list may create a wrong impression about having definitive resources.

Best,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for bringing up this discussion.

I think we can just remove it, because slides have already be provided from the `Flink Forward` section in this page. Adding another slides section not only brings redundancy but also introduces problems you listed above.

Best, Hequn

The reason is the same as Hequn, because we have given a link to SlideShare under the "Flink Forward" section.

Thanks, vino.

Hi, Stephan:

Can we put project wiki in some place? I think it's a great place to find flip lists

I agree to remove the slides section.

A lot of the content is out-dated and hence not only useless but might sometimes even cause confusion.

Best,

Fabian
