Sean Corfield gave a great presentation about ColdFusion and Open Source at the CFinNC Conference today. I'm going to give a little summary of one part of that here.
Many open source projects are supported by foundations, like the Open Source Initiative, the Apache Software Foundation, the Free Software Foundation, and the like. Sometimes, large projects even have their own supporting foundations, like the Drupal Association, or the Plone Foundation.
Until recently, ColdFusion has had no such supporting organization, but we now have the For ColdFusion Foundation. From their website:
The For ColdFusion Foundation (4CFF) is a non-profit dedicated to helping the ColdFusion Community at-large through fostering a collaborative environment for ColdFusion Free Open-Source Software Projects and their Developer Communities, so that we all may enjoy great software.
Sean says they'll be making an announcement soon about some of the first projects they'll be supporting. I don't think they're mine, since I only learned about 4CFF today :)
But check it out anyway!
