Brian Rinaldi over at www.remotesynthesis.com published his open source update for July 2 and can found here. Brian was kind enough to mention a bunch of my BlogCFC tutorials that I was working on. He also lead his readers to believe I was a paid BlogCFC evangelist. While I would gladly except this position sadly it is not true. If Ray Camden is not getting paid for his work I hardly doubt there are any openings for me.
In all seriousness though BlogCFC is a great product and I enjoy using it everyday. I know Brian was having fun with it but open source projects live because of the great work put forth by the developers and by the community. Contributing to an open source project does not mean that you need to dig into the code and start making modifications or additions. Most of the time developers need help with graphics, documentation, spreading the word & at the very least getting others excited about it. So the next time you feel like giving back to a project take a few minutes and write up a quick tutorial, its the least you can do to support the projects we all use everyday.

I don't think anyone would actually have believed that (note the strategic emoticon usage). I put a lot of tongue in cheek comments on my weekly updates...that is what happens when you have to summarize some 40-50 posts per week.

Seriously - thanks a lot Dan for your articles here. It is appreciated. I promise you will be on the Alpha for BlogCFC 6. ;)
