ApacheCon North America 2010 will be held 1-5 November 2010, at the
Westin Peachtree in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 

The official conference, trainings and expo of the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF) will run to Atlanta this November, with dozens of
sessions on Servers, Cloud Computing, Search NoSQL, Incubating projects,
innovations, emerging technologies, and more.   

ApacheCon would not be complete without a track dedicated to the project
that started it all, the Apache HTTP Server.  The Project Management
Committee (PMC) are currently planning our own technical track for
ApacheCon.  We are solliciting 50-minute presentations for our
conference track, to fill one day at the conference.  

Topics of interest include: 

* Case studies on deployment of the Apache HTTP Server within your
  organization
* How-to sessions on working with certain aspects of the Apache HTTP
  Server technology
* What's New? sessions on new features of recent and upcoming versions
  of the Apache HTTP Server
* Sessions discussing third-party extensions to the Apache HTTP Server
* Security topics surrounding the Apache HTTP Server
* Performance and scalability of Apache HTTP Server deployment
* Cool things we all should know the Apache HTTP Server can do
* How you solved particularly gnarly problems deploying the Apache HTTP
  Server

Submissions are open to anyone with relevant expertise: ASF affiliation
is not required to present at, attend, or otherwise participate in
ApacheCon.

Please keep in mind that whilst we are encourage submissions that the
highlight the use of specific Apache solutions, we are unable to accept
marketing/commercially-oriented presentations.

admission and a minimum of two nights lodging at the conference hotel.
Additional hotel nights and travel assistance are possible, depending on
the number of presentations given and type of assistance needed.
