Thanks to Adobe for providing the Adobe Connect service we use both to broadcast the meetings, and to hold (and stream) the recorded presentations
CArehart.org sponsors the monthly cost for the meetup.com site, which underlies the entire announcement/RSVP/mailing list infrastructure. (With this new groups.adobe.com site, we may well eventually do away with the meetup.com service, though it may challenge our ability to continue to use the word "Meetup" in our name.)
If you need CF troubleshooting assistance, especially with problems like CF seeming to be hung, or not performing well, Charlie provides just this kind of support. More at http://www.carehart.org/consulting/.
