Congratulations to Liz Frederick on becoming Adobe Community manager. I wish her great success in her new role. It is a tribute to the TeraTech culture of creativity and promoting from within, that Liz was able to go from being a graphics intern in 2001 (helping with CFUN) to COO of Stellr in 2008. With her creativity, quickness to learn and hard work she co-created CFUnited together with me and some members of the ColdFusion community. This year the Stellr team made CFUnited-09 the best rated yet by attendees.

Fortunately Liz is very organized and leaves the Stellr conference team with pages of schedules, procedures, budgets and a full business plan for CFUnited. I have every confidence that Stellr together with the CFUnited advisory board will produce an excellent event next year. And as both the founder of CFUnited and an advisory board member I am here to help in any way necessary.
