Looking for a few ways to stay connected with other ColdFusion developers? Here's a few of my favorites:
- CFBreak - ColdFusion / CFML Newsletter Weekly Email - this is a weekly email newsletter that I publish.
- CFML Slack Channel - this is a public slack channel that anyone can join for free. It currently has over 4,000 members. A great place to ask questions, or even just passively listen and learn from the other conversations. If you are into various Box products (ColdBox, CommandBox, etc) then you should also signup for the BoxTeam Slack Channel
- Modernize or Die Podcasts - Ortus Solutions puts out two podcasts one is a weekly news podcast, and the second is the Soapbox edition which is more of an interview style podcast.
- CF Alive Podcast - Hosted by Michaela Light of Teratech, this is an interview style podcast feature various CFML developers.
- Adobe ColdFusion Community Portal - Adobe's online ColdFusion portal for news and articles from both Adobe and various CF community members.
- ColdFusion Facebook Group - Over 3.5k members
- Lucee Developer Forum
What else am I missing?

Hey, Pete. Thanks as always for your many great resources. As for this one, please note some new information: the link for joining the CFML Slack should be changed. The old Heroku one no longer works since late '22. The new one to use (created yesterday by Sean Corfield) is cfml-slack.net (while the domain for the Slack channel itself remains cfml.slack.com).
I see you also have the heroku-based link for the BoxTeam Slack. I have just reached out to them to ask if they may have a new URL, and I have pointed them here, so perhaps they will share it with you directly.

Thanks Charlie, I've updated the link, and will update the BoxTeam link once I have a new url.

Thanks for the quick response, Pete. Oh, and since you close the post asking for anything else to consider, how about the Adobe CF Community Forums? For better or worse, they are indeed different than the Adobe CF Portal. Good news is that the FR Forums are pretty active:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion/ct-p/ct-coldfusion
I just wish the Adobe forum URLs weren't so unwieldy. All the more reason to have then easily linked to wherever possible! :-)
Speaking of that, some readers here may be interested to know that I also have long kept (and keep updated) my own list of CF community help resources (among many other categories of CF resources) at https://cf411.com/cfcommhelp
