How is everyone doing? What are you up to? CFUnited headquarters is getting ready for June and we want to know how the CF community is doing. We have our favorite blogs and we know there are more out there. Can you help me out? I'll share my favorites too. Probably put them on the CFUnited Wiki.

Thanks!

I have a treat in store for attendees. I'll be telling my advisers soon. Clue: it is so cool every CF developer will want one. ;-)

Good luck with your flight and travel arrangements, share your tips with each other on the CFUnited Wiki or you own blogs.

Feel free to start a discussion thread on ColdFusionCommunity.org and I will certainly answer some of your questions.

Due to the recent changes in the conference dates and location we have updated our blog bling. Please visit the spread the word page to update your blogs and websites with the new banners.

I'm sure everyone's received at least one of TeraTech's newsletters at some point. Ok, maybe a few more than one...

The biggest suggestions to improve were:

- Make the e newsletter HTML, better to look at than just text

- Add more useful content

- Less is more

We've taken these suggestions and modified our newsletters starting in 2008. You probably just received our newest version via email (Thursday 1/03/08), "Why Should You Attend CFUnited?"

If you didn't receive the email (because it some how got caught in your spam filter), feel free to view it at http://cfunited.com/cfunitednewsletter/cfunitednewsletter.html

We will continue to send CFUnited Newsletters only ONCE a week, usually on Wednesdays. Nafisa is the new manager of the newsletter and is taking charge of the content. She's calling out to writers, bloggers, interviewers, and anyone else willing to allow us to repost their message to the public. Not only do we want to bring useful content, but we want to keep everyone up-to-date of conference dates, changes, and big news.

So if you removed yourself from our newsletter in the past, Nafisa promises you'll be pleased from now on.

If you would like to add yourself to receive the newsletter, please go to http://cfunited.com/go/newslettersignup

If you are interested in writing for the newsletter or would like to have selected blog entries reposted, send an email to nafisa (at)teratech.com

We encourage extended learning for full time students to attend CFUnited. We offer a discount of 60% off the current price. Submit your semester schedule and school name to us and we will send approval within 48 hours.

We understand those who have fallen into hard times and we believe it shouldn't keep you from finding new opportunities. We especially believe CFUnited is a place to find open doors and a way to connect with others. It is our hope that we can help up to 10 individuals improve their careers and create a new path by making it more affordable to attend CFUnited. The first 10 approved for this program will receive free tickets and the others who are approved will receive a 60% discount. You may nominate someone else to receive this offer. We will need a letter to CFUnited management stating how CFUnited can help their career and talk about their passion for ColdFusion.

We hope everyone is doing well in their careers and we are always looking for ideas on how to bring more opportunities to CFUnited for our attendees. Any suggestions, please comment on blog post. Thanks!

I really like this ColdFusion Community site. Nick Tong, contact me, cause this rocks. Many props to you. As you can see the CF community is strong. This site has grown pretty rapidly because a lot of people I know are requesting to be friends and I just signed up.

We've added a CFUnited Group. Myself (Liz Frederick) and Nafisa Sabu have a profile on ColdFusion Community. Give us a shout out. Thanks friends!
