Adobe ColdFusion Experts Needed.

Must be goal oriented and passionate about solving problems. Being told how to code is a major turn off and creative power is a must.

Qualified candidates must provide multiple instances of community involvement in the form of publications, blog posts, podcasts and discussion lists – flame wars accepted.

How do _you_ Flex?

The Adobe Learning Resource team has posted a very brief survey on how ColdFusion developers are using Flex. This is the same team at Adobe that writes all the great ColdFusion documentation, including the awesome ColdFusion Developers Guide (PDF).

Speech vs. Beer: Why All Open Source Projects Are Not Equal

Adam Tuttle wrote up a really insightful entry on what "Free" software really means to market adoption (and how it relates to ColdFusion). This is a subject I spend a lot of time discussing/researching (too much if you ask my wife), so I wanted to add a little bit of color of my own. I'm a really big fan of open source when it's "free as in speech" but I find myself becoming more and more critical of professional open source or "free as in beer".
