Recap of the 40 Online CF Meetup talks for 2008
Note: This blog post is from 2009. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.As many in the CF blogosphere reflect on the past year, I figured I'd follow suit with a recap of the 40 talks we've had in 2008 on the Online ColdFusion Meetup. you can find the title and links to descriptions and/or the recordings for each talk below.
Always seeking more speakers
On behalf of the meetup members, I certainly want to thank all the speakers. Still, as I say in each meeting, we always welcome speakers on any topic related to CF, new or old, beginner or advanced. With now over 1600 members, there is an audienced for virtually any topic. Whether you're a first time speaker, or an old hand who may have talks that our listeners maybe haven't heard, please consider coming to speak. We tend to meet Thursdays at noon and/or 6pm EST, and we can change that time if it doesn't suit you. Please contact me or see this page of info for prospective speakers.

Thanks Charlie.
But a problem with that meetup.com site is that it doesn't let any one message board entry be too big, so I have had to split the list of entries into half-yearly lists. I offer links to those for 2008 and 2007 on the recordings page there.
I brought the list together here as much to show it to folks who may not otherwise ever visit the meetup pages, and also to provide a nice summary of how many and what kind of talks we had this past year.
But if it also helps someone like yourself who is a member of the meetup and does use the meetup site normally, that's great too. Just wanted to share that you don't need to use the calendar there to find past meetings. Check out the recordings page instead. Hope that's helpful.
