How about calling it 'WebDev Scripting Conference' ?

Cover these key technologies: mod_perl, php, expect (tcl-lets),
python (these four primarily) - then maybe some smaller side tracks
with general perl, basic java, etc. We wouldn't want the main
corporate sponsors clouding the conference theme with 'what else'
are they were doing - other than what this conference was about...

I feel this would a great idea, especially since the Apache
conference struck me as being attended by a lot of
more advanced users than I expected, for one, and they were
asking a few questions the conference speakers either couldn't
answer or choose not to answer. I feel a more direct technology
oriented conference covering a main track of Server-side
Scripting and application development dynamics.
I myself would be interested in some 'boot cap' courses in
scripting combat design - in the trenches - how to take a
CGI-based application and effectively and quickly transform it
into a mod_cgi based application; something covering more concrete
real world designs and pitfalls, plus maybe a porting shop session where
people (attendees) can bring in their "I have this, it's a CGI, but I would
like it to be a mo_perl centric application..."
Something like that. :] When I wake up more, even, maybe I'll
have a real thought here soon...
