ColdFusion Open-Source Update - October 27, 2009

Two new projects and six updates in ColdFusion open source this week. My football dreams went down in flames this past weekend (both college and professional). Thankfully, I am very distracted by RIA Unleashed : Boston, which, for the record, is nearly sold out (and could be sold out as early as this week). Are you coming?
