Looks like a good proposal. I'm well aware that Apache might be overkill sometimes, plus other stuff just works out of the box. I imagine many listeners would be hungry for this knowledge at different levels, i.e. I expect at least a few people at OS Bridge to be in that "what's Apache?" category. &&
If you wanna be ambitious, you could design a taxonomy for web servers based on whether they use multiple processes and threads or whether they're more asynchronous like Medusa (Zope), Twisted. In addition to comparing load/speed benchmarks, there's historical/lineage ways of packaging the material, which includes use cases, e.g. Twisted comes from mutli-user gaming world (where it is still). In terms of performance, passing on form Django in the real world talk by some people who know their stuff, mod_wsgi by itself is probably best for high performance, don't need mod_python per se, which is less predictable in load handling. Hope I got that right -- just passing through, this isn't based on my own tinkering. I've got this upcoming talk for GIS community mentioned in MOTD at osgarden.appspot.com , before which I hope to have geodjango running on my laptop, in addition to URLs in the great beyond (outside 127.0.0.1 **). Thanks to Micah Elliott for the heads up on registering for OS Bridge, just did that. Welcome back to Jason, Michel, Michelle... Adam. I got in last night, bag still in Cedar Rapids (I had one of those Expedia cheapos aka a "bag loser" -- got a lecture from Frontier on how bag loss is par for the course when you do it that way).
