I'd like to know what (if anything) Adobe are currently doing to market ColdFusion in this region. Last time i asked this, people (including you, Mark) jumped down my throat and called me a whinger. But i did also notice that no one said anything along the lines of "you're mistaken Mike, Adobe are doing this and that and this ..." which is what i had hoped I would find out. I was disappointed.
At one stage, Mark Blair was busy talking to prospects about coldfusion. Before Rocketboots, Robin Hilliard spent most of his time at one stage talking to people about why they should be using ColdFusion. There was a presence in the IT press - never enough, but a presence nevertheless. So I ask once more at the risk of being branded a whinger again - is Adobe doing ANYTHING at all to promote Coldfusion in this region? Before anyone could make sensible suggestions about what Adobe should do, we'd need to know what they're doing already. Otherwise its just a wish list.
