Welcome

Welcome to the web site of the ColdFusion User Group of WA. We hold monthly meetings on the 3rd Wednesday in Perth, Western Australia, where like-minded developers get together and talk all things ColdFusion.

All are welcome - sign up to our mailing list to meet a great bunch of people and find out more information about where and when we get together.

What is ColdFusion?

Merry Christmas Everyone

December 22, 2010

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of our CFUGWA members!  Our December meeting at the Brass Monkey Hotel was a great night of prize raffles and general ColdFusion and web development discussion.

First off, congratulations to Andy Parry for winning the major software raffle of Adobe software for this half of the year!! I hope you have fun with it! Also congratulations for the minor prize draw of Adobe water bottles raffled for those that attended last night with Brett, Neville and Brad taking them out.

We would also like to thank everyone that has attended our meetings for the last year and a special thank you to those that hosted and/or presented at the meetings. It would be very dull otherwise. 

We wish you all a very safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year for an exciting year of ColdFusion developments and web based discussion!

Big thanks to AJ

July 22, 2010

At last night's CFUGWA meeting at Curtin, new manager Brad Fleming presented retiring manager Andrew Mercer with a gift from all the regular members as a token of our appreciation for his efforts - a wine pack.

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gift pack for my years of service to the User Group. I would like to think the group got as much out of it as I did - I felt I have grown as a developer through the UG, and I thank every one for that.

Being a UGM has opened doors for me in the CF community for which I am also grateful.

Of course, AJ will continue to be a regular user group attendee, and we look forward to seeing what he can achieve in his new role as Railo community manager for this region.

Also on the night, James Holmes presented on WSS4CF - WS-Security for ColdFusion.

Changes in Usergroup Management

June 26, 2010

There's been some changes in the CFUGWA management. Andrew Mercer, who has been doing a great job as manager for nearly 5 years, is stepping down to focus on his new role as Railo community manager for the Australia-Pacific region. 

Brad Fleming, a relatively new face around Perth, will be gradually taking over more of the manager's role in the coming months, as he learns all the processes. Existing co-manager Kay Smoljak will be helping to run the group in the meantime.

AJ's enthusiasm and great ideas have kept the group alive and we all owe him a big debt of gratitude - but we can still expect to see him at meetings, especially as they're often held in his office! Brad has already shown a lot of commitment to the group - driving up from his home in Australind each month to attend meetings - so we can look forward to his fresh perspective on running a user group.
