I agree with Dale too. I've attended the first conference in 2003. At that time, I'd had to get our company's CEO to approve my interstate travelling because it's not in Melbourne. So I've given up following events since it was too much for me. I hope Adobe will organise similar events like Macromedia did in every state as I understand it's impossible for Daemon.

I've got the answer to everyones problems - why not get adobe to cough up some $$ breeze the freakin presos live (cameraman in each session and a web account) to those who pay a small fee towards the "Attendees" bar tab? Surely thats gold. That way you Melbournites get to see some of the WebDU love and I get to see the sessions i missed due to the hangover I had from drinking at the bar the night before based on the funds you melbournites donated for the breeze preso itself.

First up I think a lot of you guys are missing the point (except maybe Geoff, Robin and Darren). WebDU IS NOT AN ADOBE CONFERENCE! Yes Adobe is the major sponsor, and yes most of the sessions feature Adobe products. But for those of you who have missed it being mentioned at least 3 or 4 times earlier WebDU is an independent conference run by an independent company called Daemon who are located in Sydney. If you want to attend an Adobe conference then be sure to visit http://events.adobe.co.uk/events/cgi/main.cgi?country=pa and check out one of the many events/conferences coming soon to a city near you - even Melbourne gets a gernsey. If you have an issue with Adobe not supporting your product or town - TAKE IT UP WITH THEM and stop wasting everyone's time whinging about WebDU! Dale Fraser wrote: >The cost comes in to question where you wish to send multiple people. > If I want to send 3 people to WebDu then I have no hope of getting >that approved with flights / accommodation. It adds up and the >business will question why they all need to go. If it was in Melbourne I would have no issue. Dale, if you think that 1 x trip to MAX is CHEAPER than 4 x trips to WebDU then I want some of the drugs you've been smoking. I'd hazard a guess that an 'average' trip to MAX for a single punter including airfare, accom and conference ticket (not including gambling and bordello visits) would be around 5K. By my 'rough' guestimates 4 x WebDU tickets from Melbourne would set you back a tad over 1K a head. Sounds more like you just don't know how to formulate a strong enough argument to get your team up to Sydney (despite it being cheaper than your trip to MAX). Dale Fraser wrote: >Having the entire IT section out interstate doesn't help the problem. Mate, your IT guys are at a conference! So whether the conference is in town, out of town, out of state or out of the country - they're still away from the office so what's the bloody difference?! The fact of the matter is that they're not in the building to fix any problems. Bjorn Schultheiss wrote: > moving the circus around Australia it will only create better awareness of the event. I'm not too sure which planet you've been living on Bjorn, but anyone who's paid even the slightest bit of attention to anything Macromedia/Adobe related over the last 4 years knows about MXDU/WebDU. It has a reputation second to none as being one of the top Adobe/Macromedia flavoured conferences in this region (let alone the world). I really don't see how moving it round the country would increase its awareness/exposure. That would simply mean different people who wouldn't ordinarily travel to Sydney might be able to see it. Conversely people living in Sydney might not travel to what ever city it was in which kind of defeats the whole end purpose of 'raising its awareness' (i.e. getting more people to attend). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU - I hope I can make it next year!
Thanks for asking, Brett. :-) I would absolutely love to come. It's been 5 years since I was last there (honeymoon) and 10 since I lived there (in "sunny" Canberra). But I'm now an independent (which means no one to pay my way), so I have to weigh it carefully. I'm in Atlanta GA, so the airfare would be about US$1500, then add on hotel, meals, etc. I did see that Geoff has kindly offers the notion of day-long and half-day seminars, in which he'll share the profit to offset speaker travel costs. That's very encouraging, and I was looking forward to seeing more about that. I've also just started doing a day-long seminar on FusionDebug and FusionReactor in conjunction with the guys from Intergral, which we may be able to bring to the event. We may do that separately from the event, and might even bring it around the country if there was interest--in a nod to the calls here for "traveling circuses" :-) We currently have just scheduled the first two for Europe early in November: http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fastTrack.html But I've always wanted to come to the event. And I have plenty of other topics besides FD to propose, either for a session or for half/day-long seminars. And perhaps I might also be able to promote and arrange some on-site consulting gigs to help justify the cost. As I've only recently gone back on my own, I don't have a clear resource to offer that describes the consulting I can offer. I don't mean traditional "building apps" but instead helping "build up developers" and/or the environment, helping solve problems and improving productivity. I know that sounds kind of vague, so hard to sell at this point. :-) /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brett Payne-Rhodes Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 1:22 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] webDU - I hope I can make it next year!

[cfaussie] Re: Timely FusionDebugger support
Yes, I'm glad to see that they did that. I was about to propose it myself. Now, I want to say something to them if they're reading this, and to you (since you said in an earlier note that you had "read all the support articles and docs"). This challenge with the default setup of multiple Jrun instances is indeed a well-documented one, both at the bottom of page 23 of the user guide, as well as at: http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fusiondebug/support-fusionDebugOnMultiServer.h tml (which is pointed to from the support.html page) That said, it's understandable that you may not have connected the references to that in the User Guide and the support page to this being a problem with breakpoints firing. I hope they will consider adding a link to that article from the "why breakpoints don't fire" support article. Those who know me know I have a librarian-like affinity for docs and using them :-), but I do realize that even an enthusiastic reader of them can't always make connections within a large volume of such docs. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Velevitch Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 3:54 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Timely FusionDebugger support I just got a call from FusionDebugger support.

[cfaussie] Re: Handling Asunch gateway calls between sites
Could this be done by using a proxy webservice? Have the other sites pass xml or http requests to the proxy on the site with the sms, which then carries out the sms call locally, then returns the reponse to the calling site via webservices Jamie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Kear Sent: 11 October 2006 23:11 To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Handling Asunch gateway calls between sites This is a new and interesting area for me I'm starting to work with SMS gateways and i've already got it going with a XML http call to a SMS gateway, but i want to build an interactive app using the built in SMS gateway. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a gateway set up and able to receive calls (and return responses) from other sites? Like for example if i have the gateway set up on one of my domains, and want to have another of my sites on a separate domain using the gateway I've set up via the Asynch gateway. If so, how is it done?If it's in the docs, I must have skipped over it not understanding it because I dont think i have seen where it says you can (or can't) do this. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month -- No virus found in this incoming message.

This is the point where I'd like to thank Dale for raising everyones interest in WebDU this year, helping us crystalise everyones reasons for putting in that extra effort to get to Sydney, and letting us all realise how much the community here is behind WebDU, Geoff and the Daemonites. Thanks guys. Its been great. Darren Tracey --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney
I have been watching this thread most of the day and just thought I would tell a few truths. 1. It would be very hard for Geoff and I to run the conference in another state without additional help within that state. I admit it would be wonderful to spread the conference around 'like a circus' but this would also involve more expense as we would not have the facilities and resources at hand if we were away from our office in Sydney. 2. The ticket pricing will be finalized shortly and there will be no huge increases, if any. 3. The New Hilton is a fabulous venue, I am responsible for the venue change and you will not be disappointed. 4. WebDu is going to be fantastic next year - bigger and better and we hope you can make it.

Right on Barry! I can feel the love growing in this thread as we speak. Those of you who there for the original love-in back in 2003 will know that MXDU/WebDU has ALWAYS been about the people and the community (as opposed to the sponsors). The fact that it isn't a corporate (read Adobe/Micorsoft) conference is one of the main reasons why it's such a great gig. There's no hidden marketing/sales agendas. Just great people from around Australia, and the world, sharing their love (and knowledge) of web software. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Timely FusionDebugger support
I just got a call from FusionDebugger support. I wasn't expecting this call, only waiting for an email response. They're obviously keen on getting the issue resolved quickly, which they did, otherwise it would have taken a few days of emailing back-and-forth. Within an hour via desktop sharing we determined the issue. If you have installed the multi-server edition (Enterprise) and you have the JRun Admin server running as well a CF Instance, the jvm.conf file changes applies to all instances. Unfortunately, it's the JRun Admin instance that gets to own the debug port that FusionDebugger is listening on. By stopping the JRun Admin server, coldfusion can then own the debug port and FusionDebugger runs fine. This problem also occurs in their Fusion-Reactor product, but have only just recently determined the issue. I should receiving a more elegant solution shortly, but it the meantime, stopping JRun Admin will work. Phone calls form Germany are cheap compared to a loss of a potential sale. My thanks goes to FusionDebugger support for taking the initiative of phoning me.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney
just to pick up on Matt Voermans' point of "WebDU IS NOT AN ADOBE CONFERENCE!" and forgive me for sounding like an old Hippie but *_WE_* are the conference! WE as attendees create the vibe WE as interested parties drive the subject matter (call for papers) WE as participants prepare the presentations and try them out at our forgiving local user group meetings beforehand WE do the networking and schmoosing WE decide just how much (or little) we get out of the thing. WE as a community decide if it lives or dies (by supporting it or not) Adobe, Microsoft, Rocketboots, and the other sponsers are comming along for the ride. That's very different to the Microsoft roadshows (or Adobe's for that matter) should I break into the tired old paraphrasing of "Ask not what your CF community can do for you..." etc? nah, I guess not. but you get the point. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney
I hope you guys don't mind if I chip in with an objective view point from the UK.. I've been keeping one eye on the CF scene/jobs in Oz for a while now - Sydney especially, maybe with a view to finding work there in the near future. I recently spoke to Geoff about the work scene there. I've also been keeping a quiet eye on this thread... Dale - I just want to pick up on a point that you made about 'only asking a question' and then telling people to 'grow up'. I think it is the way things are phrased that can get people's back's up and comments like "That's a lame reason. Adobe aren't in Vegas." probably do the same. >From what I can see, Geoff does a huge amount for the promotion and development of CF in Australia and it almost seems that you are implying that his motives for organising an event such as this are purely financial, Your argument about not being able to send multiple people because it isn't in 'your' location doesn't hold much weight because there will always be people in that situation if it isn't hosted in their home city, whether it be in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney etc? You can't please everyone. Sydney sounds like a very sensible choice and you have every chance to base a decision to go on feedback from previous events (wherever they were), the schedule of speakers and the topics on offer?

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney
Hey Guys, Whilst we're all having such a great time chewing the WebDU fat I thought i'd just throw my 2 cents worth into the mix... First up I think a lot of you guys are missing the point (except maybe Geoff, Robin and Darren). WebDU IS NOT AN ADOBE CONFERENCE! Yes Adobe is the major sponsor, and yes most of the sessions feature Adobe products. But for those of you who have missed it being mentioned at least 3 or 4 times earlier WebDU is an independent conference run by an independent company called Daemon who are located in Sydney. If you want to attend an Adobe conference then be sure to visit http://events.adobe.co.uk/events/cgi/main.cgi?country=pa and check out one of the many events/conferences coming soon to a city near you - even Melbourne gets a gernsey. If you have an issue with Adobe not supporting your product or town - TAKE IT UP WITH THEM and stop wasting everyone's time whinging about WebDU! Dale Fraser wrote: >The cost comes in to question where you wish to send multiple people. > If I want to send 3 people to WebDu then I have no hope of getting that > approved with flights / accommodation. It adds up and the business will > question why they all need to go. If it was in Melbourne I would have no > issue. Dale, if you think that 1 x trip to MAX is CHEAPER than 4 x trips to WebDU then I want some of the drugs you've been smoking. I'd hazard a guess that an 'average' trip to MAX for a single punter including airfare, accom and conference ticket (not including gambling and bordello visits) would be around 5K. By my 'rough' guestimates 4 x WebDU tickets from Melbourne would set you back a tad over 1K a head. Sounds more like you just don't know how to formulate a strong enough argument to get your team up to Sydney (despite it being cheaper than your trip to MAX).
