Of course, it's from an Apache viewpoint, so you won't hear things like thttpd and the like, and certainly they don't branch over into DB scaling, but it's *partly* what you're looking for. The US 2007 con will be held in November in Atlanta; they are currently accepting submissions. See the schedules for the Euro 2007 con here for a sampling of the kind of topics you can expect: http://www.eu.apachecon.com/program/cag The ApacheCon conferences usually have multiple talks covering security, performance, scaling, and load balancing.

I would love to see some hands on - real world lectures on what it takes to bring up and maintain the infrastructure. Kinda like the thread Don MacAskill had going on using Sun equipment.

At some point web operations need more ingredients than just LAMP. Let's share recipies. Count me in. At some point web operations need more ingredients than just LAMP. Let’s share recipies.

Having just been to LISA, it was a big disappointment. It's an SA conference, 100%. I'm not in SA anymore, thankfully. While there were tidbits here & there that could be applied, nobody there (aside from a technical talk about how google operates that I wasn't able to fully attend) was really talking about live stuff. -/\/ Count me in.
