How did they do it? From the time that Adobe announced ColdFusion was in Alpha, to final release, HostMySite seemed to be in lock step with Adobe. They were the first to offer free beta accounts on CF8, and the first to offer CF 8 hosting services.

So, what were the technical challenges? How difficult was the transition? Have there been any unexpected road bumps? What about server performance gains - has ColdFusion lived up to the hype? More importantly, what can we learn from their experience?

Matthew Ferrari is the Infrastructure Manager for HostMySite.com and he will be here to answer all our questions.

If you have any specific questions, or a particular area of interest, please forward them ahead of time, so that Matthew can prepare his presentation accordingly.

This is our last meeting of the year, so I hope you can make it. Pizza will be served - please RSVP.
