I received this message from a fellow TeraTech employee and thought I'd forward it along to the public.

On July 26 - 27, AboutWeb LLC (and other friends) will be hosting a Extreme Website Makeover code-a-thon for the Pan American Medical Society (PAMS) charity. PAMS is a non-profit group that facilitates the donation of medical equipment, resources, and medical personnel to disadvantaged communities locally, as well as in Latin America and the Carribean. Locally, the PAMS doctors are continuously volunteering throughout the community. And just in the past three years, the Pan American Medical Society provided assistance of intense medical-surgical activities in Northern Peru, Eastern Ecuador, and Quito. The application we are building is a social networking app with all the bells and whistles, including payment processing, photos, blogs, forums, etc. The technologies we are utilizing are mainly ColdFusion, Flex, Ajax, and YUI. The main goal of the application will be to act as a hub for PAMS members and companion groups and organizations to share resources, raise funds, and coordinate activities. Please let us know if you are able to attend! Feel free to contact us with any further questions at 301-468-9246 x104. Again, the dates for the the code-a-thon is July 26 (9:00AM) - July 27 (6:00PM) at the AboutWeb office (6177 Executive Blvd, Rockville, MD 20852). You are more than invited to come and donate your talents and whatever time your schedule allows!

Note: The work is going to be 90% ColdFusion, but I know a lot of Flex people also do ColdFusion so I thought it was appropriate for the user group.

We are excited to have Railo at CFUnited this year. They will be partially exhibiting near the Intergral booth. We also plan to give them a BOF session. More details soon. This news is so new it isn't posted anywhere because we are a little busy at the moment.

Railo Technologies GmbH, founded 2006 is located in Bern, Switzerland.

The Railo CFML engine project was started in 2002 and was built for the purpose of creating a high performance CFML engine which transforms pages written in CFML into executable Java Bytecode.

After months of programming, we were able to release the first version of Railo Alpha 1 back in November 2004. After a few further alpha releases and a couple of beta releases we launched Railo 1.0 in June 2006. The latest and fastest release of Railo, version 2.0 was launched on August 25th 2007. Railo 3.0 will be launched in August 2008.

On Scotch on the Rocks in Edinburgh this year we announced that we will completely open source Railo 3.1 and host it on the community portal jboss.org. Partnering with JBoss allows us to gain access to a complete new market and a huge community of potential contributors for the CFML engine.

Railo Technologies has several customers that already use their CFML engine. Just to name a few:
- Apple Inc.
- IDG Communications Inc.
- Spiegel Germany
- Radio Television Luxembourg (RTL media)
- Peta
- Warner Bros.
- Swiss Tourism
and many more.

We want to thank House of Fusion for being a media sponsor for CFUnited Europe!

"You're using ColdFusion and you need to know the answer to a question. You need to talk to someone who knows more ColdFusion than you. You need it now. Where do you go? Since 1996 (and earlier) the answer has been to the House of Fusion. Whether it's the high volume ColdFusion Technical Talk list (CF-Talk), another one of our popular technical (or non-technical) mailing lists, or articles, House of Fusion has always been there to enhance the ColdFusion developer community.

In addition, there is the Fusion Authority, the ColdFusion technical journal whose print edition brings you up-to-date with all the latest ColdFusion information and techniques. The clear, well-written articles bring even the highest level concepts down to earth.

The bottom line is that House of Fusion and Fusion Authority have the information you need to be a ColdFusion professional. "
