OTOH testing HTTP/2 at all is a bit difficult (ok, not just "a bit"), so maybe there will not be that much feedback on it. The requirements are: new native, bleeding edge OpenSSL, config in server.xml to add the protocol handler, valid per host certificate (no comment ...), secure cipher suite for the https connector. So if you're looking at a first webinar topic, "Beginner HTTP/2 in Tomcat" would be nice. Rémy
