A panel could be interesting as well. Not everyone in TLUG works directly with HTTP on a daily basis but from a bit of an outside observation it seems that there are quite a few people that do. Perhaps this panel could be held at a separate venue which could be accommodating to all by providing a facility that would allow for the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Although performance in general is always an interesting topic, I think if we open it up it might be a bit too broad. Is it OK if we just keep it focused on web application performance?
