Velocity 2010 is just around the corner!

Well, actually, it’s not until June 22-24, 2010. But Jesse and I have already been working with the O’Reilly conferences team for a few months. We have the venue – Hyatt Regency Santa Clara. We have the theme – Fast by Default. We have the cool blur motion speed image. The Program Committee signed on for another year: John Allspaw, Artur Bergman, Scott Ruthfield, Eric Schurman, and Mandi Walls. We’re already fielding calls from sponsors and exhibitors. The next step is speakers. That’s where you come in.

The Call for Participation for Velocity 2010 just opened today. We want to hear proposals for web performance and operations topics that you’re passionate to share. Some suggested areas include:

• Web frameworks with built-in performance
• Effective cloud computing
• Profiling web applications (esp. JavaScript)
• Network performance – HTTP, TCP, DNS
• NoSQL
• Mobile performance
• Evangelizing performance within your company

This is Velocity’s third year. The first two years were incredible. I’d love to see you at this year’s conference. If you’ve been working on something that other SpeedGeeks should hear about, submit a proposal now.
