Matt Woodward on Open BlueDragon

In the series of Open BlueDragon Steering Committee member interview it is this time Matt Woodward, the host of the famous ColdFusionWeekly Podcast and also for his engagement in Mach-II.

I think the most important part of the interview is where Matt said this about the open source CFML engine:

“I’m also excited because I think this has tremendous potential to build up an entirely different kind of community around CFML as a language. Open BlueDragon will become what we as a community make of it, and I think this gives people more of a sense of ownership, which in turn can lead to greater participation, and this feeds on itself in a very positive way. In my experience people get excited when they feel they’re a part of something at this level and this can only be good both for Open BlueDragon and CFML as a language. “
