North Carolina: pwning East Coast ColdFusion

When I moved to North Carolina two and a half years ago, I wasn't really aware of its ColdFusion community. Being used to DC, where ColdFusion has a strong federal presence, I'd grown used to a large quantity of ColdFusion developers.

While us North Carolinians may lack in quantity, I think we're making up for it in quality. If you're looking for a concentration of ColdFusion brain power, it's hard to find a small area that packs a larger punch than the Raleigh / Durham ("Triangle") region (go TACFUG!).

Here's who we've got, in a randomish order (please comment if I missed you!)

Dan Wilson - Fearless TACFUG leader and contributor to Model-Glue.
Brian Kotek - ColdSpring contributor, MVC framework master (he can speak Fusebox, Model-Glue, and Mach-ii fluently, knowing the ins and outs of each)
Doug Hughes - Alagad founder and owner of Reactor
Qasim Rasheed - The quiet Java-focused voice of reason in Tacfug
Myself - Model-Glue author
Beth Bowden - SQL guru responsible for helping to bring Reactor to Oracle
Jim Priest - Process and tooling expert
