ColdFusion Open-Source Update - May 11, 2009
Posted on May 11, 2009
One new project and one update this week. There is sure to be exciting news at cf.Objective() this week. However, since I am not there, I think everyone should hold it and save it for some event I am at. All of you attending can have as much fun as you like but don't discuss anything important or make any important announcements. Understood?
