<br>
due to the lack of recent volunteer presenters in the open-source clubs, I<br>
decided to step forward and volunteer to give a presentation. The usual caveat<br>
is that I tend to give pretty bad presentations: I don&#39;t have good diction,<br>
tend to create bad slides (though I&#39;ll try to spice them with some images, and<br>
good presentation advice - <a href="http://perl.net.au/wiki/Resources_for_Presenters" target="_blank">http://perl.net.au/wiki/Resources_for_Presenters</a> -<br>
etc.)<br>
<br>
In any case I can give a talk about:<br>
<br>
1. CMake - <a href="http://www.cmake.org/" target="_blank">http://www.cmake.org/</a> - the opossum alternative to the GNU<br>
Autotools (a.k.a GNU Autohell). I gave a presentation about GNU Autotools<br>
before, which I knew were very bad, but has since then reached nirvana with<br>
CMake.<br>
<br>
2. jQuery - portable and concise JavaScript - <a href="http://jquery.com/" target="_blank">http://jquery.com/</a> - jQuery is<br>
the &quot;write less - do more&quot; JavaScript library, which abstracts most common<br>
JavaScript tasks in a succinct interface, which greatly speeds up and<br>
facilitates the coding. My approach to this will be to give several jQuery<br>
examples, and explain how and why they work.<br>
<br>
3. &quot;Bottom-up Subversion&quot; - an introduction to <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/" target="_blank">http://subversion.tigris.org/</a><br>
in a bottom-up fashion, as a complementary to the svnbook -<br>
<a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/" target="_blank">http://svnbook.red-bean.com/</a> .<br>
<br>
4. Anything from here - <a href="http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/" target="_blank">http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/</a> . I may need to<br>
update some of these presentations.<br>
<br>
5. I can also adapt a lot of stuff from here -<br>
<a href="http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/" target="_blank">http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/</a> (should have been /essays/ or /articles/<br>
or something - yet another historical URL on my site) to presentations.<br>
<br>
6. I&#39;ve been working on the fifth installment of my Perl-for-Newbies<br>
presentation:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture5/" target="_blank">http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture5/</a><br>
<br>
My Perl-for-Newbies presentations did not prove very popular when I gave them<br>
one after the other to Telux, but I can give this separately.<br>
