Call for Participation Is Open for O'Reilly Velocity 2010
Web Performance and Operations Conference

Web performance and operations is an emerging discipline which requires incredible breadth, focusing less on specific technologies and more on how the entire system works together. While people often specialize in particular components, great engineers and developers understand web performance and operations in relation to the whole. The best are able to fly to the 50,000 foot view and see the entire system in motion and then zoom in to microscopic levels and examine the tiny movements of an individual part.

We're Looking for Speakers—Submit your Proposal by January 11

We're looking for the best and brightest in the web performance and operations community—the known commodities and the undiscovered heros of tomorrow—to share the secrets of your success with hundreds of your peers.

At Velocity 2009 we took a hard look at the realities of current economic constraints felt by so many companies—and how that's translated into the impact of performance on the bottom line.

The theme for O'Reilly Velocity 2010 is Fast by Default, a deep dive into how we can automate performance (and ops) best practices. If you're a wizard with performance design, possess legendary coding skills, manage multiple data centers, are an HTTP ninja—we want to hear from you. You bring the secret sauce and we'll supply you with an equally hungry audience.
