Again, apologies. Planning the conference is enough work (for unpaid 
volunteers!) without having to add more layers of complexity like 
live-remote speakers. A pre-recorded presentation could work but, 
because it would by definition be one-way communication, it's quite a 
bit less satisfying than a talk where you can interact with the 
presenter, etc.


The ASF is always looking for volunteers to join the planners group. 
Feel free to reach-out to the group with your ideas. Remember that your

You could just talk about something you are already doing. It doesn't 
need to be ground-breaking work. Something along the lines of "we are 
using Tomcat feature X to solve problem Y at job Z". As long as it's not 
an advertisement for your company/product.


I mean... most of the presentations given by committers are like "Here's 
how to do this fairly mundane thing like connect httpd -> Tomcat".



nor do I feel confident enough yet.


I'm sure you'd do fine. It's not a hostile crowd.


Chris keeps blowing holes in my understanding so now I think I need
to go and fine-tooth thru the documentation. I really feel I know
proper "instance" configuration, but now, not so sure. :-=) Maybe in
an upcoming year when I'm older, closer to retirement age. :-D
The proper configuration it the one that's working for you... especially 
if you understand it! If you don't understand youre configuration, you 
will be afraid to change anything for the better... or the worse. :)


If it takes you a while to figure something out, you are probably not 
alone. You could give a talk on "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love 
the Configuration" or whatever. Not everybody thinks the same way, and 
hearing it from you instead of (e.g.) me might be better for the audience.

All,

Please remember that the ApacheCon North American conference is still 
accepting presentations until 23 May 2022.


The Tomcat track currently has *zero* proposals, and we were hoping to 
fill a 3-day track.


So please, send in your ideas for presentations!

All,

[Cross-posting to dev@, please reply to users@]

ApacheCon NA 2022 is back *in-person* in New Orleans, Louisiana. It will 
be held 3 - 6 October 2022 at the Canal Street Sheraton right next to 
the French Quarter.


The call-for-presentations is currently open and we are looking to fill 
a 3-day track for Tomcat, so please submit your proposals today!


https://www.apachecon.com/acna2022/
(The link at the top is a little obscure, but at the top of the page 
there is a "Call for Presentations" where you can submit a proposal).


Note that you don't have to have the presentation ready to go today in 
order to make a proposal. It's just gotta be ready around 30 seconds 
before you start to present it ;)


(There is a tradition at ApacheCon of editing ones slides during the 
previous presentation. I don't recommend it, but anyone who is 
intimidated by the process can rest assured that even repeat-presenters 
are putting things together at the last moment.)


Anyone who has never attended an ApacheCon should consider making this 
year their first: it's great fun, and you get to meet a lof of folks 
from all over the ASF, not just the Tomcat or httpd people, but folks 
working on projects you've never even heard of.


If you aren't sure if you are interested in presenting, or aren't sure
if you have the experience, knowledge, etc. to warrant a position as a
speaker, please consider the following:

1. This is a welcoming community
2. This community exists to serve YOU
3. You are a part of this community
4. Helping others within the community encourages others to do the same
5. Topics can be very wide-ranging. Here are some examples of
presentations from previous ApacheCon events:

   [From Committers / directly about Tomcat]
   - Running Apache Tomcat on GraalVM
   - Tomcat in clusters and clouds
   - Using Let's Encrypt with Tomcat
   - Securing Tomcat
   - Reverse-proxying Tomcat
   - Load balancing with Tomcat
   - Clustering with Tomcat

   [From Non-Committers or not directly about Tomcat]
   - Packaging Tomcat for Linux Distributions
   - I Love Lucee -- a Java implementation of Cold Fusion
   - Routing CDN traffic at scale using Tomcat
   - Secure Web Applications using Apache Fortress
   - Monitoring Tomcat; various tools
   - Building Reactive Applications on Tomcat
   - Troubleshooting performance using thread dumps
   - High Throughput Production Systems on Tomcat
   - Why I Love Open Source
   - Introduction to Spring Boot
   - Tomcat, TomEE, and Meecrowave
   - Apache Tomcat: Enabling Scripting Languages in JSPs

   If you are using Tomcat at $work and doing something interesting,
we'd love to hear about it.

6. You don't need to be the foremost expert in $feature to talk about it
7. We are actively looking for speakers to talk about these and other
topics:

   - Deploying Tomcat in an auto-scaling environment (e.g. AWS EBS)
   - Tomcat should really have [Feature X]
   - Whatever you think might be interesting!

Please consider speaking ESPECIALLY if you haven't done so before. If 
you are worried about whether your idea is good enough: don't. Just 
submit your idea to the CFP -- you don't have to write-up the 
presentation in order to submit an idea, just write a paragraph or two 
about what you want to do -- and the track chairpersons 
(chairpeople?[1]) will decide whether or not to include your 
presentation in the event. (And chances are good that if you submit an 
idea it will be accepted.)


Please reply to the users list with any questions you may have about
ApacheCon, the Tomcat track, or submitting a talk proposal.

Thanks,
-chris

On behalf of all ApacheCon 2022 Tomcat Track chairpersons
