I, on the other hand, am rather hopeful that I will soon find a job
that may involve Octave. I'm in promising talks right now with a
company that develops electronics for mathematical education and
numerical analysis. They care about Matlab, so maybe I can convince
them to care them about Octave too.

I think it's "thesis defence". Or perhaps it's a viva voce? But that's
Latin, not English.
