I've got a room allocated to mod_perl for two days of conference at
the next OScon. With this group's blessing I'd like to call it "the
mod_perl conference", as nobody else is offering mod_perl this kind of
exposure. It'll be mentioned in TPC advertising, but it won't be a
Perl or Apache track of the conference: it'll be labelled and promoted
as mod_perl only.
The low-hanging fruit (obvious topics) will be:
* Doug MacEachern on mod_perl 2
* Matt on AxKit (also likely to make an appearance in the XML track)
* Brian on AO (please please dark gods let AO come to fruition)
* talk(s) on how to do good things with Apache::ASP
* mod_perl + backhand = ass-kicking
* Tips for developing or tuning HTML::Mason sites
* Case studies showing how big companies use mod_perl
This latter is an important part of the Perl conference. Many
companies who would never 'fess up to using Perl seem quite happy
to send employees to speak at conferences. Their talks end up as
a big advertisement for Perl, and lets us name-drop the company as
a Perl user. I see no reason why the same shouldn't happen with
mod_perl.
