As some of you may know, I gave a talk at YAPC::Europe 2012 about Agile Companies. Due to some miscommunication, the video is not online (yet), but I'm trying to get that sorted.

Today I checked an email folder I don't read frequently and discovered that the survey feedback on my talk came in:

• Q1: Your prior knowledge of subject?
• Q2: Speaker's knowledge of subject?
• Q3: Speaker's presentation of subject?
• Q4: Quality of presentation materials?
• Q5: Overall presentation rating?

| Qu |  1 |  2 |  3 |  4 |  5 |  6 |  7 |  8 |  9 | 10 |

| Q1 |  - |  1 |  1 |  2 |  5 |  3 |  5 |  2 |  - |  - |
| Q2 |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - | 12 |  9 |
| Q3 |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  3 |  5 | 13 |
| Q4 |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  4 |  9 |  8 |
| Q5 |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  - |  2 |  2 |  9 |  8 |

In short: this is probably the highest rated talk I ever gave and plenty of positive comments. This is largely due to:

• A huge amount of research
• Tons of practice
• Attending Damien Conway's Presentation Aikido more than once

If you missed the talk, I'll be presenting it again at the 2012 Italian Perl Workshop. I'm also going to try to cram an introduction to Test::Class into 20 minutes.
