ColdFusion Open-Source Update - June 30, 2009
Four new projects and four updates this week. Today is the last day to get the early bird discount for CFUnited. If you are interested in ColdFusion open source, there will be plenty of discussions about some important open-source projects there and, I am sure, no shortage of announcements. I'll be there speaking about the Mate Flex framework. So, after you read this week's open source update, go get yourself registered.
