Michael,<br><br>Aside from its use at PyCon, would you consider making your slides available to the Python community in general, to be archived in places like <a href="http://advocacy.python.org/">http://advocacy.python.org/
</a> ?<br><br>I've often thought that the Python community could use a ready-to-go slide deck for a basic introduction. I've considered giving a local "intro to Python" presentation - heck, the local Perl Mongers group has been *nagging me to* - but I haven't had time to put together a good slide deck. If I could just grab an existing introductory talk, practice it, and go - I could start presenting right away. I'll bet we could find people in many cities who could do the same thing.
<br><br>Is there a "standard" Intro to Python slide deck out there already that I'm simply unaware of? <br><br>"If you died today, are you 100% certain that your successor could read and maintain your code?"

<br><br>I have a two-hour presentation I've given a few times, so it would not take much prep for me to do this. It has some nice features, in that it gives people the flavor of programming in just one session.
