I resign the dragon...

I am not sure if this news has spread through the CFML community, but a couple of weeks ago I stepped down from the OpenBD steering committee. Rather than going into all the details here I am just going to post my resignation letter that hopefully explains my reasons behind it.
Dear Gentlemen I have realised that since joining as a member of the steering committee I have contributed bugger all. This should not come as a shock to people that know me, since I am a lazy bugger but I think its inappropriate for me to take up space on the committee that could be assigned to someone more intelligent and vocal to contribute. I have a number of projects (outside my 9-6 day job) that I need to concentrate on, some that you know and some that you will hopefully know soon enough but this leaves me little time left to give OSBD the attention I would like to give the project. Rather than sit around like a silent lurker on the list I am going to make space for a better (not handsomer) person to take my place. Of course, I shall keep on lurking in the background... and probably looking at the code going "aint that clever.. yessum!" and wishing the project the total success it needs! Finally I would like to thank you for having though of me highly enough to invite me in the first place! And sorry that I couldn't make a bigger contribution

I am on the steering committee of Open BlueDragon

As some people out there might have noticed, there has been rumours of BlueDragon going Open Source. I was asked if I would like to contribute to the project by Andy Allan and Alan Williamson a few weeks back and finally the announcement has gone through (in case you hadn't noticed of course!) Alan asked me to write a few words on my involvement, which you can see over at his blog. http://alan.blog-city.com/interview_markdrew.htm A very exciting time for CFML developers!
