Subject: Invite to present at Aug 7-9 Federal Webmasters Workshop

I am organizing the presentations for the HTTP Server topic at the
Federal Webmaster's Workshop August 7-9 in the D.C. area. Last year we
had about 1000 people for 3 days.

The workshop is sponsored by the NCSA/NSF Federal Consortium, a group of
16+ Federal agencies working to support and promote Web technology.

We are looking for two different kinds of presentations on HTTP servers.

First, an overview of the server's features, why you would want to use
it, etc.  Marketing and comparison is fine here, but we would prefer low
key of course.  The audience can be assumed to be mostly technical types
who want to cut through hype and get to real performance and maintenance
issues. These presentations will probably be about 15-20 minutes with 10
minutes for Q/A.

Second we want to offer "The Doctor is In" sessions that would be
informal periods in which people can come and just ask detailed
technical questions, or bring problems that they have encountered.
A strong technical person who doesn't necessarily have marketing skills
or  great presentation skills would be fine for those. Length of these
is probably one hour, but that can be worked out.

Server developers would also be invited to sit in on a panel on the
direction of HTTP, and especially the problems associated with
implementing 1.1 if we can get sufficient interest in the panel.

The pay is zip, but it should be a good time and excellent exposure for
your product, since many of the attendees will be webmasters and
technical types from the Federal agencies.

Please call let me know if you want to speak or have any suggestions.

Thanks!

I was going to try and make it out to this but it looks like we won't be 
able to (burned all that travel money on Paris - ugh!).  Sounds like 
Chuck is going to go - if anyone else wants to, you should all 
coordinate.
