After several months of planning I am starting to slowly move all of our open source coldbox related repositories to github.  This does not mean we are moving from Assembla, it means our source code is moving.  Github is great for social coding and collaboration that every open source project needs.  Not only that, git is really really fun to use than SVN and I am really digging it, especially for open source work.

Not everything yet is moved, but here are what’s out there.

• My github space
• The ColdBox organization space
• ColdBox Dashboard : An awesome tool for ColdBox applications
  • Assembla Development Space
  • Github Repository
• ColdBox Samples : The samples that are distributed with the ColdBox bundle download
  • Github Repository
• ColdBox Demos : A Collection of demos at conferences, presentations, etc.
  • Github Repository
• ColdBox Platform Utilities : An Adobe ColdFusion Builder Extension for ColdBox Applications
  • Assembla Development Space
  • Github Repository

So stay tuned as more and more projects are moved there.  So now the entire community has no excuse on forking and submitting patches and collaborating more.

Just a reminder that the ColdBox Book is now available for kindle in the UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002ZG8S0G

Hope you enjoy it!

Another video we have just added to the vimeo ColdBox Platform channel.  Here is our presentation at CFUnited2010 about building mobile applications such as iPhone or Android native applications by powering them with ColdFusion/ColdBox RESTful services.  Enjoy!
