The Open Source Convention is a five-day event designed for programmers, developers, strategists, and technical staff involved in Open Source technology and its applications. This event is the central gathering place for the Open Source community to exchange ideas, share techniques, push the technical boundaries, and maximize the benefits of open source software. The convention takes place at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, San Diego, California, July 22-26, 2002. The theme this year is "Doing More With Less." This has several aspects: how business can do more with less money (by adopting open source software), how developers do more with less time and financial support, how to make the most of what you've got (performance tuning and little-known-of features), and how open source software manages to avoid the bloat that characterizes closed-source software. Suggestions for things that would be great to see in the Apache httpd track, * Apache 2.0's new features, why it took so long, and what the future holds * Strategies to get better performance (mod_backend, Squid, ...) * 5 coolest modules shipping with Apache that most people never use * Writing Apache 2.0 handlers * Success story about BigCorp, Inc using Apache and being proud of it ("how we replaced umpteen NT boxes with a handful of Apache servers") * Security Individuals and companies interested in making presentations, giving a tutorial, or participating in panel discussions are invited to submit proposals. Proposals will be considered in two classes: tutorials and convention presentations (sessions). Presentations should be aimed at a 45- or 90-minute time slot, though full day and half day tutorials are another option. Presentations by marketing staff or with marketing focus will be rejected. All presenters whose talks are accepted will receive free registration at the conference. For each half-day tutorial, the presenter receives one night's accommodation, a travel allowance, and an honorarium. Registration will open April 1, 2002.
