What would it take for you to attend ApacheCon North America in April 2015

All,

The call for papers is currently open for ApacheCon North America in
April 2015. While I could submit some talks on what ever Tomcat related
subject I fancy talking about, I'd prefer to talk about what you want to
hear.

So, with that in mind what Tomcat talk(s) would need to be on the
schedule for you to be able to (convince your manager to let you) attend
ApacheCon North America next year?

I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Cheers,

Mark

I can confirm that I'll also be at ApacheCon NA 2015 and will be
submitting presentations for consideration as well. So if you don't
feel like Mark talking all day long about whatever he finds
interesting, you will at least have some choice of speaker ;)

Seriously, though, please please please give us some ideas for things
you (the community) might like to hear about. Tim Funk gave some great
ideas, but it never hurts to have a large pool of ideas.

You can see the full schedule from last year's ApacheCon NA in Denver,
here for inspiration:

Here's a link to the Tomcat track which was held in a single room
during all of Wednesday 9 April 2014:

Off-list I have had a request for a load-balancing / clustering deep-dive.

Interestingly, I did a tutorial on this at ApacheCon Europe that was
very well attended (something like 20 people) with no advertising at all
apart from the sign-up option on the registration page.

Slides and other supporting material is here:

Amusingly enough, Sander Temme was giving his presentation at
ApacheCon NA 2014 on the "State of the SSL Union" when great number of
audience members first heard about Heartbleed - I was certainly
amongst those. A bunch of people walked out immediately to go call
clients and everyone else had their mobile phones out, furiously
sending emails and text messages.

I would imagine that Sander will give another presentation on the same
topic, so this one will probably be covered. Anyone who might be
interested in attending could bet on such a presentation.

NIO is the default connector in Tomcat 8.x and BIO is already gone
from trunk/9.0, so everyone needs to get with the NIO program.

Who doesn't love scripting Maven (which was invented to avoid scripting!)?

Can't attend ... but I'll throw out 4 fun [YMMV] ideas in case there is
interest by someone else ...
- Security year in review ... My heart bled POODLE and other reasons I was
kept up at night.
- On the road[map] again, possible inclusions in the next servlet spec and
how that will affect the next Tomcat release.
- Non-blocking IO. Is everything awesome?
- Getting the cat back in the bag. Deploying your apps in Tomcat on Docker.
