After a talk with Orna, I've decided to delay the Lightning Talks by four weeks, to hold a different lecture at 19 June 2005 (probably Eddie's), and on the date in between hold a communal hacking session. What we do is meet, connect to a Linux machine, and alternate between adding comments to code, or writing automated tests for it. When we're done we send the patches to the maintainer. We should probably add comments to an open-source codebase that the person is familiar with. Tests can be written to various Perl modules on CPAN. (CGI.pm comes to mind).
