Hi, Jean-Frederic. Could you give an indication of what sort of
presentations they are looking for? Would a presentation of an
open-source Tomcat extension, with architecture/code explanation and
live demonstration, be appropriate? For example:
*Title:* Serving Clean Resource Names with Custom MIME Internet
Types on Tomcat
*Summary:* Increasingly static site generators are being used to
create a presence on the web, both for the speed and simplicity of
the resulting static pages. Coupled with this trend is the use of
"clean" resource names with no extensions, such as
`/products/mousetrap` instead of `/products/mousetrap.html`. Because
the default Tomcat implementation determines MIME type by filename
extension, "clean" filenames are traditionally produced by URL
redirects, perhaps using Apache HTTP Server in conjunction with
`mod_rewrite` in front of Tomcat. This presentation shows how Tomcat
has been extended to dynamically determine MIME type at runtime
based on metadata stored in a parallel file tree or as sidecar
files, and to serve the pages directly from Tomcat with no need for
URL redirects. A tutorial on the static site generator Guise Mummy
is also included, illustrating how to generate a static site with
clean resource names, host the site immediately using embedded
Tomcat, and/or even deploy the site to AWS S3 using bucket object
metadata with a single command.
Is that the sort of of level of talk they are looking for, and is it of
appropriate general interest for the conference?
