Just to point out here - cf.Objective() is about as community driven as it comes, and most of the people on the steering committee and who help out, are pure volunteers. I have to also point out that cf.O is specifically tailored to being a intimate conference, and have had several conversations with key people who organise the conference about how they don't want it to get too big, and lose that 'family feel' that comes with a set number of people. I think you are getting confused between cfUnited and cf.Objective, and I have to say, there is a world of difference. > > If there really is a demand for more advanced CF topics/conferences > in ANZ, I'd rather suggest convicing Geoff to add a dedicated > cf.objective() track to webDU 2009 - mixed branding, yeah, but make > it one large event. I believe this is something that is being considered, but I can't say for sure, and I don't think there has been any talk with Geoff yet. Honestly, I'm a little bit surprised at the negative attitude - for an area of the world that quite regularly complains about how little attention it gets from Adobe in regards to CF, I would have thought that people would have jumped at the opportunity to have a CF specific conference in the ANZ area. Also considering, from what I've seen anyway, that the ANZ region tends to lack in the framework / advanced / enterprise skills area, something to help gain momentum in this area would be highly beneficial, if not crucial, for the ANZ CF community. Mind you, that's just my opinion and my experience - maybe an integrated track at webDU is the way to go, or maybe nothing at all. I just figured with the relative success of the CFCamps (and how quickly they were put together), the CF community was up for more content to be handed to them.
