I got word today after leaving CFUnited to come back to California that ColdBox was announced as The Open Source Project of the Year by the Community Achievement Awards!  I am super excited and happy about this award and you can see the recording here:

3. Houston

If you would like to attend to this 2 day intensive ColdBox training, please leave a comment and choose your city.  The curriculum for this class can be found here:

Bob Silverberg just announced the availability of a ColdBox plugin for interacting with his Validate This! framework!  I highly encourage you to test drive Validate This as it is truly an awesome validation framework.  He not only did the plugin but adapted a sample application to work with it.

So if you are still trying to determine validation and want an easy and great solution, give ValidateThis a shot!  Here are some links for you:

We have added a new FeedBack Forum to all of the ColdBox websites so it makes it easy for the community to report new features, ideas, enhancements and bugs.  Not only that, but we can all vote for what features to support or build and so much more.  So please check it out, by going here:  http://coldbox.uservoice.com/ or just by clicking on the new feedback tabs on the sites.

I have been debating with the decision to continue to support ColdFusion 7 in the main ColdBox core for version 3.0.0 and move ahead with CF8 compatibility. As of now, we have decided to maintain ColdFusion 7 support, but you can make this change. Our upcoming version is targeted for release by Fall of 2009 and we need your input. We have put together a small survey below and according to the community's response, we will either maintain the core to be ColdFusion 7 compatible or move ahead...
