[Haifux] Me Volunteering to Give a Presentation

> Hi all,
>
> 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.

>From the Haifux list, I would be ver interested in hearing you lecture
about Jquery. I will be swamped with exams until the end of October,
though.
