Topics for SA presentation?

[Theo Van Dinter <fe...@apache.org>]

Hey folks,

ApacheCon EU will be in May, and they're currently running a Call For Papers.
I'm planning to put in at least two proposals (more below), but I'm curious as
to what kinds of presentations people would be interested in ...?  What kind
of information would make you want to goto a conference and sit in a room for
at least an hour?  Would there be things you'd be interested in seeing in more
of a 3hr tutorial as opposed to a 1hr presentation?


If anyone's interested, I'm looking at doing a "What's new in SA 3.2"
presentation (because 3.2 ought to be out by then darn it), and a
"SpamAssassin Engine" presentation talking about modules, main functions,
some plugin stuff -- I used to call this "So you want to be a SpamAssassin
developer: the engine", but I think that may not be inclusive enough.

I was also thinking about doing a rules/sa-update/plugin talk, though doing 3
may be a bit much.

How about "Care and feeding of SpamAssassin"?

  - Keeping SA updated
  - sa-update and rule maintenance
  - When do you write your own rules
  - Adding plugins
  - How well is SA working?
  - Creating and maintaining your own spam/ham corpus for testing
  - Compare vanilla SA scores to sa-updat-ed ones (especially on  
recent %$^$%#$ image spams)

That would cover a lot of FAQs.
