Picking up on what Jeff and Daniel are saying, I think some focus on the powerful things mod_proxy_* can do would be really useful. One particular thought that has been in the back of my head for some time is a "Begone libphp5.so!" talk. For better or worse, PHP is still around and will be for some time, but it is time to get it out of the web server and treat it like the application/backend it is for both security and resource-usage reasons. mod_proxy_fcgi + php-fpm is a really elegant, simple solution to make this happen, but I have found a lot of devs and admins who just aren't even aware of this configuration possibility. (I have explained it to several people at ApacheCon NAs over the past couple of years.) I've actually been using a backported mod_proxy_fcgi in 2.2 for just this purpose for a few years in production. That's certainly a talk I would be willing to give if there is interest. P.S. mod_proxy_balancer -> mod_proxy_fcgi -> php-fpm is really fun and interesting too! ;-)
