Hi,

I would like to hear a lecture on cmake.

due to the lack of recent volunteer presenters in the open-source clubs, I 
decided to step forward and volunteer to give a presentation. The usual caveat 
is that I tend to give pretty bad presentations: I don't have good diction, 
tend to create bad slides (though I'll try to spice them with some images, and 
good presentation advice - http://perl.net.au/wiki/Resources_for_Presenters - 
etc.)

In any case I can give a talk about:

1. CMake - http://www.cmake.org/ - the opossum alternative to the GNU 
Autotools (a.k.a GNU Autohell). I gave a presentation about GNU Autotools 
before, which I knew were very bad, but has since then reached nirvana with 
CMake.

2. jQuery - portable and concise JavaScript - http://jquery.com/ - jQuery is 
the "write less - do more" JavaScript library, which abstracts most common 
JavaScript tasks in a succinct interface, which greatly speeds up and 
facilitates the coding. My approach to this will be to give several jQuery 
examples, and explain how and why they work.

3. "Bottom-up Subversion" - an introduction to http://subversion.tigris.org/ 
in a bottom-up fashion, as a complementary to the svnbook - 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ .

4. Anything from here - http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/ . I may need to 
update some of these presentations.

5. I can also adapt a lot of stuff from here - 
http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/ (should have been /essays/ or /articles/ 
or something - yet another historical URL on my site) to presentations.

6. I've been working on the fifth installment of my Perl-for-Newbies 
presentation:

http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture5/

My Perl-for-Newbies presentations did not prove very popular when I gave them 
one after the other to Telux, but I can give this separately.

Regards,

 	Shlomi Fish
