While be it late I wanted to share some of my goals for 2007.

#1. Have at least 3 open source projects.

Releasing cf_googleMap has take a lot of my time and it has been a learning experience to say the least. Dealing with other developers hacking away at your code, finding bugs and asking for feature requests is a bit scary. It really is the best form of peer review. I have some ideas on releasing some other projects around better error trapping and reporting, better debugger than the classic cfml debugging page. I am open to any other ideas as well.

#2. Release a product myself and not through my employer

I have been working on a product to release to the world for the past few months. I want to make money while I sleep! (More to come soon)

#3. Write an article and have it published

I have a decent start on some uses for the asynchronous event gateway. I just want to finish it up and submit it into the CFDJ.

#4. Enter a contest

I've seen many of the coding contests come and go and I never took any time to enter any of them. I doubt that I will win but I want to make an effort of going through the process. I've heard a lot of good things that you learn by going through some of these contests and I just want to put my hat into the ring.
