marc esher (Mar 6, 2008)

"I think this is a great thing you're doing. Face it the training budget is never large enough wherever you work. This continuing education series is terrific"

Rick Mason (Mar 6, 2008)

"You can attend a lot of the meetings during your lunch break instead of having to drive all over after work. Lots of interesting topics because it's not constrained by geography."

Mike Rankin (Mar 6, 2008)

"I think it is quite good. We might collect many topics from the audience and choose some popular ones to discuss."

Brenda (Mar 3, 2008)

"Love what you've done with the group. Thanks for all your efforts."

Joshua Curtiss (Feb 29, 2008)

"This has brought me closer to the ColdFusion community. Our local user group is small and doesn't really do anything. I have one at work that is great, but hearing from outside work is what has made this experience so wonderful."

Andrew Humphreys (Feb 28, 2008)

"It's a good idea. It brings together fellow CF coders over a broading area (the U.S.) versus local cities."

Jim Pickering (Feb 21, 2008)

"Nice way to keep the CF community going. I have broadcast this to the entire NIH web author's group in hopes of jumpstarting CF interest and "buzz" that used to exist in this community years ago."

David Smith (Feb 7, 2008)

"Excellent idea...I must catch-up on the previous meetings as ther are a lot of topics of interest to me. The timezone is just the only barrier to overcome but you can't please evetyone and having the recording is a great alternative for those who cannot make it!"

Niall O'Doherty (Feb 1, 2008)

"Looking forward to learning more about the group and how it all works. Always great to see Charlie doing anything."

Cheyenne Throckmorton (Jan 17, 2008)

About this Meetup


Welcome to the Online ColdFusion Meetup Group, hosted by veteran ColdFusion developer and troubleshooter, Charlie Arehart.

The ColdFusion Meetup is an online ColdFusion user group. Indeed, it's an officially recognized Adobe User Group and the world's largest CFUG. Sessions are presented online using Adobe Acrobat Connect (formerly Breeze) and anyone may attend and view both the live event and the available recordings.

Whether discussing the latest in CF features and techniques, or reviewing fundamentals and aspects of technology related to ColdFusion development, we hope to make the Online ColdFusion Meetup a place that CF developers continue to find great information to make their jobs better and their careers more satisfying. The CF community is known for a high degree of sharing, with many developers out there who love to share their knowledge and experience.

Being an online group, we hope to share that wealth with the possibly vast audience of CFML developers who may not t have ready access to a local user group. Of course, members of other user groups are welcome to join this group as well, as indeed may anyone.

Looking for the URL for the current meeting?

All meetings are held at the URL, http://experts.acroba.... Use the option there to "log in as guest" and wait until just before the meeting starts to be let in.

Looking for Recordings of Meetings?

Meetings are recorded and the URLs are offered after each meeting at http://recordings.col.... You can also see a list of all our past meetings.

Supporting the Meetup

The URL for the group, if you want to share it, can be more easily remembered as http://www.coldfusion.... The group tries to meet regularly, at least monthly (and sometimes weekly, as speaker availability permits).

If you'd like to speak at the meetup, please see this blog entry which offers more details.

If you'd like to suggest a topic or potential speaker, please contact Charlie. Finally, if you have any thoughts or ideas for continuing to improve the group, please do share them either by email to Charlie, or in the forum if you'd like to have a group discussion.

Background: The CF meetup was started in 2004 by Steven Erat of Adobe. In March 2007, he needed to step down from running the group, citing work pressures, and he handed the reigns to Charlie Arehart and Raymond Camden, two long-time contributors to the community. Their goal was to rekindle and carry on the tradition of finding the best in online CF presentations from developers around the world. As of late 2007, Ray has stepped into a role of backup host (and occasional speaker). He's busy helping the community in so many other ways, and we certainly thank him for all he's done!
