Coldfusion Open Source Update - August 13, 2010
Posted on Aug 13, 2010
Six new projects and seven updated ones in ColdFusion open source this week. I am enjoying my last official day of forced "vacation" before my official start at Adobe on Monday (which coincidentally is my birthday as well). Thankfully, the weather her in Boston is amazing this week and its been good to catch up on stuff. Mostly, I have been focused on RIA Unleashed (did I mention the contest?) as promoting a conference is the hardest part of running one, in my opinion. Anyway, enough about me...here's what happened this week in ColdFusion open source...
