I'm not sure if we formally announced to the list that I will now be handling lining up speakers for the CFUG meetings, and Joe will be taking over finding us sponsors. Just wanted to make everyone aware of the change so you know to contact me with speaker or topic ideas. If you know folks who would like to speak just let me know--in my mind it doesn't even necessarily have to be 100% CF specific topics all the time. General topics about everything from application architecture, to other technologies that CF may interface with, to career and/or business marketing topics, these are all extremely valid.
Also, if you have ideas for topics, don't feel like you're volunteering yourself to speak simply by bringing it up! Let me know what topics you'd like to hear covered and we'll try our best to find people to cover it. I think once we start reworking the site we'll have an area where you can submit topic ideas and maybe we could let people chime in and vote to see what people most want to hear about. We're also going to be changing the meeting format around a little bit. I'm going to prepare a survey that I'd like all of you to take when you have a few minutes (more on that later), but I think we had a lot of good response to the idea of having short "show and tell" presentations from group members, and along those same lines we could have roundtable discussions on certain topics or even just leave some time to let people ask questions about issues they're having with their projects. I know many of us are lone programmers so it often helps just to bounce ideas of people in person. Lastly, we need speakers or ideas for our November meeting! I'll be out of town on business so I'll miss the November meeting unfortunately, but we'd like to get some ideas ASAP so we can make some decisions and get the word out. We're going to work hard to make the group fit all of your needs as best we can, so please give us all your suggestions and feedback.
