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

Mark Drew's Gravatar @Joshua: Thank you... I think? :)

@Brian: Railo is definitely a real nice alternative, it runs like a dream and its VERY fast.

@John: As long as people aren't there just being a waste of space, as I thought I was being on the OpenBD project
