My CFUnited presentation is from 4-6pm today - Promoting CFML Outside of the CFML Community

Some of you may remember by Promoting ColdFusion Birds of a Feather at MAX 2007 last year.

I am revisiting that topic today, in a similar format to last time, except we should have more of the materials we need to make this brainstorming session a success, AND, even more importantly, MORE TIME.

This is an all audience participation brainstorming session. We're going to figure out what our community needs to do to grow CFML outside our own community. If you are at CFUNITED, I hope you'll plan to attend.

We need "recorders" for each of the breakout groups in the session. If you are planning to attend, and are willing to just "record" the details of your breakout group, please see me before the session (as early as you can today), or email me at brianmeloche at gmail dot com. I'll send you a link to a Google Doc to record your group's findings.

Found a new open source ColdFusion CMS this morning - Sava CMS

No, I don't have anything to do with it, but in a Google Alert, I found an entry about Sava CMS, a new open source content management system built on ColdFusion.

Blog entry

Although I heard about it from this press release, I hadn't seen anything about it before that, although I now see that Gary Gilbert blogged about it yesterday.

They seem to be pushing the CMS as a self contained solution. They have an Express version, bundled with Railo and Jetty. I would think they'd bundle Open BlueDragon at some point, although I see they are GPL 2 where as Open BD is GPL 3 (not much of an open source licensing guy).

I haven't had a chance to take a look at it, but I thought I'd blog about it anyway, to get it out there for others to look at.

Open Source ColdFusion: Google Doc

For the July Cleveland CFUG meeting, rather than creating a PowerPoint presentation on ColdFusion Open Source, I decided to create a Google Doc instead. You can view that doc at the following:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcdhg6m6_3hbs6mt

This document was not intended to replace RIAForge or Brian Rinaldi's ColdFusion Open-Source Project List, but was intended to be a summary of what's out there and highlight popular projects.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. If you would like to edit the document, and you have a Gmail account, email me at brianmeloche at gmail dot com, and I can give you access.
