Yes I attended CFUnited twice and was very disappointed they had to close up shop. That's why I was asking about for an alternative at the top of the thread.
I am definitely very interested in what's coming in August. What space should I watch, as I gather it hasn't been formally announced? For now I think we'll be going to the Open CF Summit in Dallas, for the emphasis on Open Source. I think you're completely wrong about open source being a small movement in federal government. In fact, I think that was one of Obama's first executive actions. Maybe it hasn't taken off yet, but everyone I know in USDA, Treasury, State and the contractor community is working furiously at slashing IT budgets by moving to OSS and cloud computing. I know this must be awkward for adobe, because I don't think anyone will paying traditional licensing for anything a year or two from now. I think the only money to be made is going to be in tooling and code generation. The language itself already does more than I'm ever going to need to do... Anyway please do share on this conference in august - my people would definitely attend! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341024 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
