Tonights Portland CFUG
Tonights meeting went very well. I presented on blogging. I covered the “What is a blog” as well as the “who are bloggers”. I also covered some stats published from a blog reader survey of nearly 30,000 people. Damon Gentry did a demo for the how portion of the presentation. He demoed a blog app he wrote him self in fusebox based on rays blog.cfc.
The whole evening went pretty well. We doubled our attendence from last month to a whopping 10 people!
I promised in my presentation I would post the links that I referenced, but that will have to wait for tomorrow. So check back then

Great Job Simeon, I love the new location, and let me be the first to congratulate you on becoming Portland CFUG manager!
Simeon, great job at the CFUG, and I really appreciate the time you spent with a few of us afterwards. I’m going to give you notice right now that I’m going to ditch my sad little homegrown blog and steal yours. Well, not steal really, since you’ve put it out on the front porch. I’m looking forward to understanding the DAO approach you’ve used.
Hey Guys,
I really appreciate the support. I am really happy that you all enjoyed the presentation. Sometimes its hard to gauge what people are hoping for when you put something like that. Especially since most of my portion of the presentation was completly none technical.
Thanks so much for coming out to the meeting. I have not been able to talk with Ed (cfug program manager) since Kevin and I made the hand off, so i am waiting to make a formal announcment.
That asside I already have the next 5 months speakers lined up. So anybody who reads these comments will get a sneak peak
April: Spike on CFEclipse
May: Barney Boisvert on Fusebox 4.1
June: Rob Rohan on Neuromancer (for interfaces like gmail)
July:Will either be on OO design, or CF Security
August: Sean Corfield on Frameworks.
So if the promotion I mentioned (not formally announced yet) isnt enough to get you to spread the word and bring people to the meetings, Those speakers should attract one hell of a crowd!
Stick with us. We are going to make this group great!
