No, Phillip. I have been busy all year, but i dug up projects of my own. What i am concerned about is the apparent lack of activity on the part of anyone to get new ColdFusion sites up and going, while most of us can point to CF sites that have gone to other technologies.
Go ahead. Bash me. if it amuses you. Bash away. But it doesnt change the problem. Its ignoring the problem I'm trying so hard to point out. We're all so scared to say that Adobe arent doing much because we might be labelled one of the "ColdFusion is dead" crew that it's just being neglected. At least that's how it seems to me, and there is NO ONE who has made any effort to tell me I'm wrong about that. Look I know the signs. I spent more than 20 years in Sales Management, Sales to Government (state and Federal departments) and major accounts sales. I know what major sales activity looks like. And I havent seen any. I could easily be wrong because I dont mix in those circles any more. I have a son in product management in the biggest IT distributor in Australia. He also says there is no apparent activity happening in ColdFusion that they can see. He also could easily be wrong about ColdFusion because he also might be talking to people who wouldnt know about CF. I'm not asking for anyone to reveal projects that are delicate and might fall over. I'm not asking anyone to reveal confidential information. But surely there is SOMETHING someone can point to that says Adobe are promoting ColdFusion in Australia. Where is the trade show presentation? What about a booth at a .Net conference? Any presentations at Adobe gatherings? What about when Adobe had the presentations to potential customers last year, was anything said about ColdFusion then? I didnt see anything mentioned about CF on the agenda so I didnt go. I had a living to earn. Any ads placed? Any mailouts done? Any brochures printed? Did anyone actually make a phone call to any potential new CF customer? Or have they decided to spend their efforts on development tools and IDEs and just let the server product manage itself? All I know is what I see with my own eyes. And for daring to speak about it, I'm getting slammed as one of the "ColdFusion is dead" people.
