You mean Andy? :) I'm sure with the speed he talks he could cover all
available template modules in the one tutorial time, especially if Simon
flips the slides for him :)

Ralf is always talking about SSL stuff, so if you want to do it, why don't
you just contact him and sync with him. It's not mod_perl but many of us
are using it. So it'd probably be questionable for TPC , but perfect for
ApacheCon.

Well I guess it'd be really hard to find such a person, unless Theo will
help us :) Or I'm mistaken and there is a brave person in the crowd with
the right skills to teach the rest of the us illiterate :)

Uhm, is it's IP of the company? I'd be glad to hear that talk.
As I've mentioned in one of my prev posts, Eric Cholet will probably share
with rest of us, the knowledge we gain here (jazzvalley.com) for doing
multilingual stuff with TT and mod_perl. So there will be at least one
engineering talk.

Looks like a perfect subject for you Gunther :)
