Nope, it should follow the naming convention already in place:

Apache::Conference   :)

I'm also of the opinion that it should JUST be mod_perl, and that "smaller
is better" approach is well-suited to the objectives... after all, who
needs ANOTHER bloody 20,000 attendee tradeshow? Softbank, et al, make
plenty of money on the existing ones...

Perhaps as a way to cut travel costs, we could "piggyback" it by having it
either immediately before or immediately after one of the "Big" shows, in
a nearby facility; say, piggyback on the August LWE show in San Jose?

I know someone mentioned having it on the East Coast, but I really believe
(and keep in mind, I'm on the East Coast myself ATM) that if close-to-half
the community is in California (labor market statistics I've seen show
that that may even be an understatement), then by having it on the East
Coast, all we'd be doing is driving the average-cost-per-attendee up and
the overall attendance down, especially among rank-and-file developers.
