RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion Meetup Group meeting is tonight
Wow, cool news about the SQL Server user group (atlantamdf.com, for those not familiar). I've spoken there a couple times the past 2 years. The trek over to CHOA (off 85 and Druid Hills) was always a bit of a hall, but the group is really well run with (like us) lots of volunteers, sponsors, giveaways, and quality content. Really glad to hear that the offices there may become UG Central. :-) One last comment, another correction if I may. :-) As for adding a new presentation, it doesn't even take a minute (let alone a few). Just want to motivate more to consider it. I just ask for the presentation title and recording URL. If you want to add more info (description, date, duration), that's a bonus. But there's no sign-in or registration process, so really it could be done in 20 seconds. (I handle and prevent folks spamming the list with my own protections.) Again, though, thanks for the additional motivation for folks, John. /charlie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Mason Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 2:35 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion Meetup Group meeting is tonight Great, so I got about 20% of the info right :) Sorry about that. The meetup group and UGTV are really great resources and I'm happy to promote them. Even if you miss the meetings, those recordings are there to view later. I sometimes look at stuff during my lunch break, etc. So thanks Charlie for organizing them. Which also reminds me that, if you run across a presentation that would be nice to share with the CF community. Posting it on Charlie's UGTV (http://www.carehart.org/ugtv) only takes a few minutes. It's not just for ColdFusion stuff. There are presentations on there covering Flex, AIR, Sql Server, etc. BTW, looks like FusionLink will be hosting a meeting of the local SQL Server Users group in January (Jan 14th). If things work out well, hopefully we'll be hosting them full time. I'll post more info on this in the future.

I'd like to offer a few clarifications, though. First, it's not Sean who is involved but rather Ray, who was originally to be co-host. Turns out (no surprise) that he's just too busy, so he's stepped down to being a backup if I ever need one (which I do appreciate). Also, here's an easier URL for people to remember (and share): coldfusionmeetup.com (which redirects to that URL you offered.) If you sign up on the site, you'll receive an email announcing each meeting. And we do in fact record *all* (not just most) of the meetings are recorded. Again, no worries. I do appreciate your pointing things out. I'll say, too, for those curious, that even tough we record the meetings, we still generally get the same kind of turnout of live bodies as would be at a typical ACFUG meeting, sometimes 20, sometimes 50. Finally, thanks also for mentioning the UGTV site. There are now approaching a couple hundred recordings on all kinds of talks related to CF. Enjoy, everyone. /charlie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Mason Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 3:11 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion Meetup Group meeting is tonight As some of you may know there is a worldwide ColdFusion User group that exists at meetup.com.
