ApacheCon Presentation Accepted!

Posted on July 17, 2006 | Filed Under Nerding Out 

I submitted a proposal for a presentation at the 2006 US ApacheCon back in June. I got an e-mail today saying it was accepted! ApacheCon is in Austin, TX and the presentation days are on October 11-13th.

I’m going to be presenting on the Apache-centric aspects of the product we’re building at work. In a nutshell, it’s about how we plugged into and used Apache, and how others could do the same thing.

There’s a Toastmasters club here at work, which i’ve decided i’ll start going to once it starts up again after a summer hiatus. That way, i can get some good practice at public speaking. I also want to try out the presentation at a lunchtime (a “brownbag” session, as we call it) for other devs to comment on.

This is the first time i’ll be presenting at a conferece! I’m really excited. Woot!!

    I did an at-work toastmasters thing once. It was super nerdy but damn fun!

    Hope the presentation rocked, mang….I haven’t done a conference presentation since 1996 - it’s probably about time for one!
