Hey, CF Gang!! It's the ColdFusion Crier again riproaring ready for our next big event on April 10th at 6:30PM. How 'bout you? I'M READY BATMAN! YIKES! IT'S OUR BOY WONDER AGAIN IN HIS RED, VERY TIGHT, TIGHTS. THAT'S WHY HIS VOICE IS SO HIGH. I'M EXCITED, BATMAN. WE'LL BE SEEING WILL ROGERS, FAMOUS HUMORIST AND HORSEMAN THERE AT THE EVENT. WHAT? THEY DUG HIM UP? NO! NO! YOU DINGBAT (do dingbats hang upside down?). IT'S WILLIAM ROGERS, NOT WILL ROGERS!! Yes, it's true! April 10th , our event will be headed by Mr. William Rogers, founder and CEO of Ektron, Inc. who, while on the speaking circuit, has delivered engaging presentations to Web developers (including local and national CFUG meetings), entrepreneurs, and e-business professionals. Mr. Rogers has founded three successful tech start-ups, and served as chief architect for a wide range of new technologies so he is well worth listening to. With a wide array of experiences in developing new technologies and nearly three years invested in pioneering software for streamlined business-end-user-empowered Web content authoring and management, (his company produces eWebEditPro, a popular browser WYSIWYG solution) he brings unique perspectives and insights - both from a technical software/Web development standpoint and a business entrepreneur standpoint. He maintains ongoing dialogs with numerous key players in Web content management. Mr. Rogers prior start-ups include Global Telemedix (telemedicine software) and Zydacron, a co-developer (with AT&T) of the first video-conferencing chip set and largest seller of desktop video-conferencing components. He has also been at the leading edge of new technology development at prestigious companies such as DuPont Corporation and MIT Lincoln Labs. We are truly honored to have him as our speaker at our April Event. For the DFWCFUG, Mr. Rogers will address several issues of interest. "What's involved with implementing a content management solution in a small to mid-sized organization, or for a corporate intranet?" Although he will outline various options available in today's content management marketplace, Ektron's solution is called eMPower and it runs on top of ColdFusion. It is one of the industry's easiest-to-use and lowest cost Web content management applications and Mr. Rogers will demonstrate it for us. To read about content management you may download a whitepaper from http://www.ektron.com/whitepaper/whitepapers.cfm. In addition, Mr. Rogers will address the "buy vs. build" question, discuss user needs (for both IT and business users), and explore cost considerations. WHERE AND WHEN?
