Railo has released the latest version of their open source ColdFusion Mark-up Language (CFML) engine. Along with the new release, Gert and his recently expanded team have launched an excellent set of websites. The websites clarify the company’s identity.
The first site, http://www.getrailo.com focuses on Railo as as a commercial enterprise that publishes a high-end open source product and CFML platform. (This is where the old www.railo.ch redirects to.)
The second site, http://www.getrailo.org focuses on the community that uses and builds on the Railo platform.
A third site is in the works that It will contain documentation, guides and user generated content.
The sites and the release itself are still technically in beta. But Railo, and were Gert has taken it, remain a very exciting technology and expanded platform for both the ColdFusion community and for the world of Java developers (see the Why Railo page).
Stock full of swag from Mid-Michigan CFUG and MAX, my son decides to reveal to the world his secret identity of Adobe Boy.
Here he is suited up for a RIA mission.
Where to start? It all happened so fast. In the blink of an eye the MAX BOF Session on CFML Language Development came and went. But what a great session.
First off, thanks Jason Delmore (Adobe), Adam Haskell and Matt Woodward (OpenBD), Gert Franz (Railo -who wins the pulling an all nighter to participate award) and Sean Corfield (CFML Advisory committee -graciously agreeing to speak).
And of course, everyone who participated in person and online.
About half the meeting got recorded on Acrobat Connect right here
Here is a recap of the first half from my recollection. I would invite speakers and participants to add in their recollections as well.
