Donna, Oh, it's not so awkward for us at Adobe. As I mentioned before, we've seen increased adoption for ColdFusion in the public sector. Of course, I have a bit of a different perspective since I talk to so many different agencies and departments as part of my job.
What agency do you work for? I'm scheduling some CF customer meetings in DC the week of Feb 21. One of my managers will be in town and I would like to expose him to some CFML shops that chose to migrate away form ColdFusion. I think getting your teams perspective would greatly help increase the quality (and business model) for ColdFusion. -Adam On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 9:46 PM, Donna Bing <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes I attended CFUnited twice and was very disappointed they had to close > up shop.
