Similarly, I'm always up for giving my proxy talk if it's welcome (after
the first day since I can't make it until Tues). If we think proxy is a
big topic, we ought to arrange for a general overview like my proxy talk
followed by more specific deep dives such as what Jeff mentions here and
a session on new sexiness like WebSockets.
Picking up on what Jeff and Daniel are saying, I think some focus on the
powerful things mod_proxy_* can do would be really useful.
One particular thought that has been in the back of my head for some time is a
"Begone libphp5.so!" talk. For better or worse, PHP is still around and will be
for some time, but it is time to get it out of the web server and treat it like the
application/backend it is for both security and resource-usage reasons. mod_proxy_fcgi +
php-fpm is a really elegant, simple solution to make this happen, but I have found a lot
of devs and admins who just aren't even aware of this configuration possibility. (I have
explained it to several people at ApacheCon NAs over the past couple of years.) I've
actually been using a backported mod_proxy_fcgi in 2.2 for just this purpose for a few
years in production.
That's certainly a talk I would be willing to give if there is interest.
P.S. mod_proxy_balancer -> mod_proxy_fcgi -> php-fpm is really fun and
interesting too! ;-)
Awesome. I'll put you down for a php-fpm talk. :-)
So, the next step, now that we have a pretty good track roughed in, is
that people actually start submitting the talk abstracts to go along
with it. It would be great if this didn't get left to the last minute,
so that we can actually start doing some track publicity sooner rather
than later.
Thanks for the great discussion, folks!
