I am now a part of the Adobe Community Professionals Group

I just found out I have been accepted into the Adobe Community Professionals program by Adobe for 2010. Specifically for the ColdFusion product. Each year Adobe selects, via a nomination process, people world wide to be a part of the program. This year is a whopping 300 people, 44 of them for the ColdFusion product. CF and Flex seem to make up the bulk, which is interesting.

Also today Adobe announced that the program has changed names. It used to be called Adobe Community Experts. In fact it is still referred that way on the Adobe website. They changed the name to make it a bit less confusing regarding some other acronyms and names that are very similar. (Adobe Certified Experts).

While I haven't been in the ACE/ACP program I was actually a part of Team Allaire back before Allaire was bought out by Macromedia (pre Adobe). Team Allaire was essentially the same thing only much smaller. The bulk of the focus at that time was the forums. Now with so many conferences, user groups, blogs, forums, social media angles, etc it is a whole new ball game.

I look forward to participating in every way I can and a great year for all of us developers.
