ApacheCon BOF

Hi all...

Well, in an interesting turn of events not only did my company agree to
pay my way to ApacheCon this year, but my former boss said that he
_personally_ wanted to sponsor t-shirts this year. Well, he does want to
put the logo of some new venture on it, but needless to say it looks like
everyone gets tshirts again this year.

So, I've come trolling for ideas for a shirt theme. Last year we did the
world domination thing, with some mod_perlish code that translated into RTFM
:) Any ideas for something new? Stas already suggested something
surrounding the mod_perl netcraft chart from perl.apache.org/netcraft. Any
others?

We have a graphics guy to take care of all the graphics stuff, so
basically we can just throw around ideas and themes here.

Allright... I'll give it a try and throw in a couple of silly
ideas. (Feel to (ab-) use any of these if they are deemed (un-)
worthy. (Hopefully someone will post better ideas! :)

1.
Front: "even new mod_perl programmers know to spot a problem,

[.picture of an eagle about to attack some prey (Suggestions?
Maybe something related to a competing product? :)]

and find a way to attack it"

Back:
$ top

. o O ( Uh-oh. )

^C

$ lynx http://perl.apache.org/guide/debug.html

. o O ( Ah! )

*Clicketyclick*

2.
Front: [.pictures of the mod_perl logo or eagle in lots of different
sizes]
Back: "Wonder how to make your mod_perl site scale?"
"<modperl [at] apache> knows, and soon you will too. ;)"

(further down, in small letters)

"(hint: <http://perl.apache.org/guide/>)"

Another idea might be to have a (preferably common, difficult and
short) question asked on the list on the front, and the (preferably
short and elegant) mod_perl code solution to this problem on the
back. Any takes? :)

- Salve, trying to get the ideas flowing...

well, the eagle and Apache feather are off limits due to copyrights (or
whatever).

Don't forget that this is going to have a corporate sponsor, so they don't
want to get in trouble with MS or anyone else for that matter :)

last year we had an obfuscated line that printed RTFM (wrapped in some
mod_perl idioms), which I really liked.

I wouldn't be opposed to using that particular bit of code again.

unfortunately, the most common RTFM these days seems to be "How do I
unsubscribe" which I don't know that we would want to distrubute all over
the place :)

thanks - and keep 'em coming!!
