At RIACon in Rockville just this last weekend, there were six(?) members of the CF team from Bangalore including the Product Marketing Manager and security czar. There was a lot of content on Zeus in the presentations. They also stated that it would be out next year. (No I don't know if that meant Dec 2012 or Jan 2012.) From everything I saw and heard, ColdFusion 10 is going to be a great improvement and in ways that may not be obvious at first. There are many new security tags. There is a huge improvement in the administrator that we saw including one-click hot fixes. These things were in the presentations and no one had to sign NDAs so I assume the information is out in the wild. I got a great feeling of relief in meeting and talking with the team from Adobe. I was wondering the same thing you were before and wondering if this move to Bangalore was the first step in the demise of the product. Now, I am looking ahead at many more years of developing in my favorite system. The Adobe engineering and marketing team were very impressive. In September, the new product manager and other staff will be at NCDevCon in Raleigh http://ncdevcon.com/ You should be there to hear the news for yourself. It's going to be fun. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/a4/60 Twitter: http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Google+: https://plus.google.com/117357905892731200369 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346630 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
