Summer of Code Presentation

As part of the No Grownups seminar series, I gave a presentation on Friday about my experience in Google's Summer of Code 2005 program.

The talk went fairly well, although I should have spent more time preparing, and should have given the talk a practice run at least once... I had 20 slides that were meant to last ~20 minutes, but ended up rushing through them and finished within 10 minutes... Oops! There were lots of questions at the end though, which meant I ended up speaking for 25 minutes in total.

I find myself getting extremely nervous before these sorts of things, but normally once I start speaking the jitters evaporate. At least, that's how it seems to me while I'm stood up there talking... Perhaps from the audience's point of view I'm a nervous mumbling wreck!

In case you're interested, the slides are available.
