Mark Drew (Redux)- cf_etc...

Tomorrow (Wednesday 31st October), we will be having a great little get together at the UK ColdFusion User Group. Kev and I will be going over what we learned and saw at this years Adobe MAX Europe conference in Barcelona.

Spaces are really limited and its at our new venue in Picadilly Circus (actually, its my office!)

Register today and there will be some great bits and pieces to win!

Do you need someone to present at your CFUG? Well, I have been doing a lot of presentations lately, which can be seen over in my Presentations page, which means I have a lot of content I can present on. If you have a specific topic (including CFEclipse of course!) Why not email me with your proposal and I shall see what I can do.

I am based in London, England so unless there is a nice budget to fly me out, I can also do remote presentations using Adobe Connect. I am available in the evenings mostly so let me know if you ever need an extra presenter at your CFUG or company.

As I am sure anyone that has gone to one of my CFEclipse presentations would know, I also happen to be to co-manager of the UK CFUG

Over the coming months, I want to fill up a schedule of speakers, myself included on a variety of topics, and I would really welcome suggestions from the community, especially those in the UK (and more so those that are able to attend our London based CFUG meetins) for topics that you would like to hear more about.

I can do most of these presentations (well, depending what they are of course!) and also very much welcome other speakers.

So, if you have a suggestion, let me know!

Tonight's UKCFUG meeting will be presented by Railo, a CFML rendering engine which has some nice benefits for all.

Come and check out the Railo funkyness!

(now Gert can tell me WHY he is still using CF Studio!)

Tonight we are heading out for some bevvies with Andy Allan over at Waterloo Station, just a quick reminder to you lazy people that never make it ;)

More info here

Before I forget, Andy Allan is back down in town, the man behind the upcoming Scotch on the Rocks!

We are meeting up for a few drinkies over in Waterloo station, so come on over and join us!

More info at the UKCFUG website

The UK ColdFusion User Group has setup a mailing list over at Google Groups so that UK based CF Developers can keep in touch and participate more in ideas about meetings and resources (such as training, jobs etc)

We shall be doing some more announcements about upcoming meetings, but in the meantime you can do two things:

1. Join the mailing list
2. Come and join us for a beer tonight!

I just wanted to remind everyone that we are having the London cf_drinks meetup tomorrow!

See related posts for more info!

Just a little reminder that next Tuesday we are meeting up at The Crosse Keys, 9 Gracechurch Street,City of London for a few drinks. It will be great to meet up with some other CF'ers but it's not a CF specific meetup, so bring a friend.

Lots of people coming (check out Kev's blog)

I should also warn you, no amount of alcohol will get me to tell you what the new features in CFEclipse will be. I have signed an NDA by me, which will be embarrassing to break since I would have to sue myself, and that would be just plain weird

Hope to see you all there!

Once again we have managed (not) to come up with an excuse to have a drink, this time, we didn't even bother coming up with an new excuse and used an old one instead: Andy Allan is back down in London which means its time for another CF_DRINKS!

This is where we get down and dirty and talk cf tech and drink some fermented liquids.

The details are as follows:

LOCATION: The Crosse Keys, 9 Gracechurch Street,City of London, EC3V 0DR TUBE:Liverpool Street/Monument/Bank TIME: 18:30 DATE: Monday 12th March 2007
