Matt, You said, "It awfully presumptuous for people who to suggest who Macromedia should hire. Further, it seems ridiculous to ask for a job with Macromedia like was just done. Macromedia already has an evangelist (Ben Forta) and a community manager (Vernon Viehe). If you don't like them or what they do that is one issue, but suggestion they hire someone else is simply not the way to approach it."
To be honest, Matt, I think that Michael was joking when he said this. He was expressing his wishes that he could do this for a living, as it is a full time job (and one that he's chosen) but he's not really expecting that Macromedia hire him or fire Ben or Vernon (both of whom do excellent jobs.) "Michael, if you really want to make a living working for the ColdFusion community I suggest you either apply for a job with Macromedia through the normal channels" Which he's already done when he applied for the community manager position. They were interested only if we moved to San Francisco -- which we're not willing to do. So it didn't work out. "or better yet; start your own ColdFusion community portal. If you make it the number one spot for ColdFusion developers to go then I am sure you will be able to find plenty of ad revenue from companies like Macromedia." Um, what do you think House of Fusion and Fusion Authority are?
