I've added new slides of my two lightning talks this year at http://petdance.com/perl: Start Using prove, and Join The Phalanx Project.

In what program have you created the slides?

I read the 'Prove' presentation, it looks really good :)

Apple's Keynote. I just wish it did HTML export. :-(

Doesn't keynote have an XML file format? You could probably knock together an XSLT stylesheet to output some vaguely sensible HTML fairly quickly...

I certainly couldn't, no.

What does it take?

I would like to help but I am new to Perl and programming. What can I do to help?

Assuming you're talking about the Phalanx project, join the perl-qa mailing list at http://lists.perl.org/. Then, see if you can find a team that's working on a module that you'd like to add tests for. It might be a team like a Perl Mongers, or just some like-minded folks who are interested in the same modules you are.

What's your background? Where are you geographically?

I live in the North (west) Virginia area. I am currently a Sysadmin using Perl to automate just about everything. I have read the "Perl Medic" book and think testing is a great idea. From the scale in the book I would be about a level 4 or 4.5 level guy. I really like Perl and want to help in some way.

Heh; when I saw "prove -r tk/", I thought "run all tests and recursively delete subdirectories?" :)

Funny, that was my association too.
