I've commented there but I'll post here as well... I'm overall chair of content for cf.Objective(). We have a three person committee for each track coming up with suggested topics and speakers. One of the track committees - of which you are a member - suggested a topic of CFML on GAE and came up with three possible speakers for the topic. We were literally on the verge of sending out speaker invitations when you insisted that the topic be withdrawn. Consequently cf.Objective() did not send invitations to three potential speakers to submit on CFML on GAE.
As far as I am aware - based on discussions with Adobe about content at cf.Objective() - they have no problem with community members presenting on any CFML-related topic. Two members of the OpenBD steering committee have been invited to submit talks (on over half a dozen topics between them) and I would expect that any demos they give as part of their talks will be run on Open BlueDragon, right? (just as some other speakers may run their demos on Railo). The decision not to present OpenBD at Adobe conferences was made by certain people in the OpenBD community (other than you, I don't know who else is taking that position). Vince posted that decision here and said it was the conference organizers forcing this decision - certainly not true in the case of cf.Objective(). I can't speak for other conferences of course... I would also remind folks that Open BlueDragon was launched at cf.Objective() in May 2008: http://corfield.org/entry/Open_BlueDragon_at_cfObjective Sean On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 3:29 PM, Adam Haskell <[email protected]> wrote: > OpenBD's Official announcement > > http://cfrant.blogspot.com/2009/11/openbd-will-most-likey-not-be-presented.html > > Adam -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en !! save a network - please trim replies before posting !!
