Personally, I'd like to see a members list with contact info/IM info/Company/personal profile/etc. That way we can know who's actually part of the group!

Hello fellow CF members,

    In response to Matt & Mark early posting for some
ideas & suggestions so that the CF website and
listserve can better serve our fellow CF members at
large, I have posted some input below, so please feel
free to post your feedback with regards to my ideas &
suggestions.

joe cervenka


1. Have the coldfusionpro newsletter, free news-letter, is emailed 2 to 3 times an week, emailed to the groups listsever. Since this newsletter covers specific and general relative tropics on CF pro-gramming, this would at least keep the group updated on current trends as well as saving time and money attending those expenise seminars. Also this would be an great way for the members at large to post this input with regards to that day's tropic.

2. For posting of job openig, some sig's use an self
posting page for performing such tasks. The results
can be viewed on the groups website page, or continue
posting by cut & pasting on the current listsever.


3.  For posting of upcoming expos, events, seminars
again some sig's are use self posting page for
per-forming such tasks. General net/web, security,
pro-gramming are the most reality tropics that are
covered at these various events, or continue postings
by cut & paste on the current listserver.

4.  They reason I am bring up postings of expos,
events, seminars is that some sig's are able to offer
group discounts to members by using an special
assigned code for that particular event, that is
inputed during the online or onsite registration
process. The group discount is usualy provided may the
vendors who are hosting and exhibiting at that event.

5.  I wish to address several related issues that I
see developing within the programming community at
large affecting various programming tasks;

a. Job opportunites at various events, several
vendors post notices wanting experienced programmers
at these type of events.
b. Secondary programming language skills, in
essence you have some basic understanding of an
secondary programming language such an c(+), PHP, java, pearl, asp.net so that you can interface your
project with the main programming language. This trend
is mainly aimed at small to medium companies or
bus-iness at this time. c. Dual interface projects developments, in
essence you may be developing your project primarly
for website usage, but allowing for interacting with
software, wireless, on-demand products and services,
seems to be the coming market trends.
d. Outsourcing various programming jobs, at this
time is mainly targeting to medium to large companies
or business at this time. At some of the events, this
tropic is well disucssed, and debated.
e. Search engine & redesigning websites are
cur-rently the main tropics of discussions at
programming events. Please bear this one fact in mind,
when you redeisgn your website for what ever reason,
in essence you are reprogramming its orginial
programming. Weather to meat ADA standards, affect
page ranking, etc. you will have to redesign and
reprogram your website.

Very cool--we'll see if that makes sense in the
overall scheme of what
we want to do with the site.  Unless we get a huge
"NO" vote on it on
the survey, we'll likely be using FuseTalk forums on
the new site as
an extension of the mailing list.

If people are interested, I'm happy to donate a

The biggest group in the DFW area by far (that


has


designers/photographers/illustrators/copywriters/etc)


is dsvc.org


Dallas Society of Visual Communications

They have a "job" page that gets 50K uniques a


year. the CFUG should


consider one of these on the new site. they have


a forum too, although


its infopop and not CF.

I think we could swing that--one of our members


mentioned perhaps


contacting some of the graphic design user


groups in the area and


swapping coding for design, which I think is a


great idea. I didn't


see a local Dreamweaver or Fireworks UG though,


but there is a Flash


group so as long as things didnt' go too


overboard with Flash, that


might be cool.

If you're serious about the suggestion, I'll


put up some coding time


in exchange for a winning design!

Hi folks,

The CFUG board has decided to overhaul our


group's web site, so we


want your ideas! If there is specific


functionality on the site that


you'd like to see, new features, etc. please


send an email to the list


in response to this message (or feel free to


email me directly). We


already have plans to add forum software that


would augment the


mailing list and give people an additional


way of keeping up with our


CFUG. We have several other ideas bouncing


around, but any


suggestions you folks have would be


fantastic. We want to make the


web site as useful as we can.

On that note, I'd like to solicit members (or


any good designers you


know ...) for new logo and site design ideas.


Some of us don't


usually get much into the design side of


things, but I know we have


some creative folks on the list who will have


some great ideas. We'll


be nailing down the details of this soon, but


what I envision is


letting members vote on both the logo and the


site design once we get


submissions, and I'm sure we can come up with


a prize of some sort for


the winner. (I'll personally sponsor one if


nothing else!) The


details of how this will work may change but


I wanted to get the word


out now so people can start thinking on this.

So let's start coming up with some nice site


and logo designs, and


please send them to me directly. Let's do


screenshots for now because


that will make the voting easy. We'll give


everyone until December 1,


2004 to submit your ideas and we'll do online


voting in early


December.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm


looking forward to seeing


what ideas and designs you come up with for


the site!


Thanks,
Matt
