Dear Apache::ASP Community, I am forwarding this to you with the hopes that some of you might rise up to the challenge and present on Apache::ASP at the next O'Reilly open source conference.
O'Reilly Open Source Convention Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina July 22-26, 2002 -- San Diego, CA http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2002/create/e_sess The deadline for submitting proposals is March 1, 2002. If you are willing to put together a 3-hour tutorial, I believe O'Reilly will fly you out from wherever & give you a $1500 stipend besides. I would recommend however doing a 45 or 90 minute session partly because it would be easier, but more importantly sessions are free for conference attendees so you normally get a much better turnout than tutorials. I am not sure what compensation O'Reilly provides for session speakers, if any, but who needs compensation when you are passionate about open source :) Lots of the mod_perl guys don't get there until midweek when the sessions start because that is all they present on. But some of the hard core notables like Stas Bekman & Doug MacEachern are often doing tutorials so you can catch them earlier on in a mod_perl bar type setting! You can speak on Apache::ASP in all sort of ways for example: * Case Studies: - how standards based Apache::ASP let my companies 4 web developers turn out 100 client sites last year - how we served 1M web users in a month without breaking a sweat using Apache::ASP ... some tuning tricks we used too - internal help desk: case study in getting things done in corporate IT. Reasons we chose Apache::ASP over other web development solution. Management buy-in hurdles to overcome ( they didn't know it wasn't IIS/NT until to late ). * Best Practices - Large development team methodology, how to create an architecture that coordinates 3 perl engineers & 10 web developers all working on the same sites. Looks at dev/QA/production web server isolation, publishing methodologies & source control management and how Apache::ASP architecture was deployed to facilitate these things. - Design for reuse. Going into how to create perl modules, ASP includes & XMLSubs components for increased code reusability & better abstraction between data, logic, & formatting ( sounds like XSLT? ) * Architectural / Config - XSLT with Apache::ASP - Web Clustering / Scalability with Apache::ASP - Performance tuning Apache::ASP, possibly include benchmarking and other advanced configs like dual httpd mod_proxy config. I have done 2 3-hour tutorials for Apache::ASP the past couple of years which you can find at: http://www.apache-asp.org/resources.html#Presentation70b98c21 I will likely go to the conference, but may not be presenting this year. I haven't decided yet, but the more the merrier, and I would be happy to work with whomever on their presentations. For those that are feeling particularly green there are even these newer lightning talks where you can do a 5+ minute presentation. So check it out & let us know what you submit a proposal for! --Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
