RE: [ANNOUNCE] ApacheCon USA 2001: Call For Papers
I think there is room, however, for more stuff like that. In particular, a presentation of templating techniques is very important for people to understand so that they can make informed decisions about moving away from bloat like CGI.pm (no flames, please) and improve the maintainability of their application. Remember that your talk can be reused for both ApacheCon and TPC, most of the people don't make it to the both conferences. So while you are thinking about your TPC submission, at the same moment you can submit it to ApacheCon as well. Personally, my C is very weak - I have wanted to see something about how mod_perl _really_ ties in with Apache for a while now. Not just the basic XS stuff (though there is nothing basic about it) but perhaps detail enough to add a new Perl* directive without using Apache::ModuleConfig. Power user stuff - maybe not that appropriate since mod_perl 2.0 awaits, but I would find it interesting anyway. Yup, that would be really cool.

And how complicated would it need to be... something like an updated version of my "Stonehenge::Pictures" tool from my WT columns? In fact, would a paper be the equivalent of a column, but presented live? I can only speak for myself, but here's my take. Although I may piss off some people/conference coordinators-- hopefully not. 1) I am sure there's always going to be an interest in you submitting something to the mix. You're Randal Schwartz! 2) Different conferences have different audiences and different feels to them. eg a lot of Usenix conferences are really formal. They always want a paper plus eventual slides and they are usually quite academic. It's a lot of work IMHO to submit to a Usenix conference. I am a bit disappointed that PerlCon started taking this road (at least they made it really hard in the 1999 one) especially as PerlCon isn't Usenix. Submitting formal papers is fine for academics, but in IMHO it's a waste of time to have a speaker write a paper for most of the talks I've seen. And usually the paper leaves things open that the speaker finally fills in the blanks for at the conference -- so conference proceedings are 60% usually sucky anyway -- even in paper format without forcing a formalism to the suckiness. :) On the other end of that you have something like the old LinuxExpo's in North Carolina b4 RedHat made it big and quit the conference circuit. Those talks were more informal and highly techie. Maybe YAPC is like that -- I wish I could have attended a YAPC, they sound like a lot of fun. Then you get the Web Design and Development or InternetWorld's of the world... they're usually a lot of case studies and a bit more business oriented. In fact, some of those more commercial conferences have even started having the nerve to ask for money from the speakers to speak. By the way, the ones I mentioned by name (WDD and IW) do NOT have this practice as far as I know -- but I know others that do. From seeing the survey of talks, It seems to me like ApacheCon is in the middle. It's not precisely an academic conference so the paper submission process doesn't seem so annoying as a Usenix but it does have a good share of techie talks. I think the talks tend not to be too case study oriented which can be a good thing. I think case studies are great if there is a good technical technique (eg a case study on a multilingual website), but they get real boring if it's just someone saying the same thing. eg when we did a talk on Perl in investment banking at PerlCon 99, we wanted to make sure we weren't spouting the same thing about Perl being a cool, easy-to-use glue language. But to also share cool techniques that other investment bank IT people attending our talk were able to chat about with us afterwards -- we've still kept in touch with some of them. The fact that we were able to connect with and reach out to Perl folks at other investment banks having given the talk was really something that made it worthwhile for us. Unfortunately, many case studies about Perl in XYZ industry tend to say the same old mantra over and over again about how Perl is a great "glue" language or something else everyone has heard about 10 million times. Saying the same old thing is boring without backing up with some interesting technique. I do think that beginner talks are vital to conferences like ApacheCon to get new people into open source and loving it. And also paying for the facilities for the tech side. I also think that some small mix of talks should be given to new people who've never talked before because it will get them interested in open source and contributing more. To some degree, people who are witty and good at talking but who aren't as deep techie-wise are actually great people to give a talk teaching new people how to do stuff. I am no judge of speaking, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I prefer engineering related stuff. So although I am sure your pictures module may be interesting. I would personally find your articles (and hence talking) on things like your bandwidth throttling mechanisms and by extension using mod_perl to manage spider attacks more interesting to me. But that's just me -- as I said in a previous post, my tastes may be a bit out on the outer techie edge. Of course, I could also be misinterpreting what your pictures module does -- and it might be more interesting to me than I am thinking. I obviously can't speak for what others would think. But I

Hint to whomever is watching. :) I was planning to submit my paper, "Perl Templating Systems Deathmatch". I'd also be very interested in performance benchmarks related to some of the more sophisticated techniques people talk about (eg using IPC vs files for storing shared data). Methods for sharing data, and OO frameworks for working with databases (Tangram, Alzabo, Persistent::*) would both be great topics. I'd also be interested to hear from authors of modules lilke Apache::PageKit, CGI::Application and PApp about the approach they're taking to web apps. Maybe a case study on developing huge sites on mod_perl. I could talk about the system we just built at etoys.com. I think I'll only be able to handle one or the other though. Maybe I'll save one for the Perl conference. - Perrin
