Here is the strategy that the non-ColdFusion developers group came up with during the Birds of a Feather I hosted at MAX called "Promoting ColdFusion Outside of the ColdFusion Community".

  • Build demo apps
    • look at Yahoo! UI stuff, integration with Amazon.com web services, etc.--anything that shows how you do things in Java, PHP, .NET, etc.--we should duplicate this in CF
      • we as a community should take this on
      • put this on RIAForge
    • show CF integration capabilities
      • ease of integration with Java, .NET, Exchange
        • be aware of holes in this area
    • promote popular application types (blogging, bulletin boards, etc.) written in CF
    • promote CF 8 code snippet server running on Adobe's servers
    • place to host demo apps--free hosting from HostMySite.com?
  • Need single place to point people to get going with CF
    • gotcfm.com
    • promote blog aggregators--MXNA, FeedSquirrel, cfbloggers.org
    • promote user groups
  • Create place that responds to common objections and myths
    • ties in with #2
Thanks to the group that came up with this strategy! The team included, among others, fellow CFUG managers Charlie Arehart, Matt Woodward and Rob Munn. I didn't keep notes on who was in what group, so if you participated in this group or any of the others, thank you so much!!!
