While most may know that CF has always been free for development use, did you know that folks in education (students, teachers, and staff) can obtain CF Standard licenses, for use in learning (though not production)?

Adobe CF Summit East 2020 cancelled due to Coronavirus concerns

Sad news to report: the annual CF Summit East (2020) conference has now been cancelled, due to concerns over the Corona virus. I have not seen a post here from Adobe, nor have they mentioned it on their twitter feed (@coldfusion), but if you visit the summit web site, the announcement is there.
