I've seen plenty of anti-commercial software vitriol out there in OSS communities but I haven't seen it in the open cfml community. I would say that many (probably most?) people who are participating in open source side of CF (Railo, CFEclipse, OpenBD, projects on RIAForge, etc) have been cfml

Yes I attended CFUnited twice and was very disappointed they had to close up shop. That's why I was asking about for an alternative at the top of the thread. I am definitely very interested in what's coming in August. What space should I watch, as I gather it hasn't been formally announced?
