Undoubtedly, some people think of OpenBD still as a New Atlanta project. The Open BD Steering Committee has refuted this many times and also has posted a open letter to the community stating this fact.
Still some people during the first day at CFUnited could not hold back and said publicely that the intention of the OpenBD project is not good for the CFML community at large. I don’t know why this is being said and how it came about, since the interest of the Steering Committee is to bring a open source CFML engine to the table.
In any case, the lead of the OpenBD project has been taken by Alan Williamson. He is the core developer of OpenBD and has licensed his work to New Atlanta which in turn made Blue Dragon out of it. Alan Williamson has no other bounds with New Atlanta nor does the OpenBD Steering Committee.
Even thought that this is publicly known, Alan Williamson just posted the following personal letter to the CFML Community. If you really want to know how he stands, I suggest that you read the letter now.
Judge for yourself, and don’t believe the hype.
