Time flies doesn't it?  This month celebrates our 7th birthday as a project.  We've grown up a bit since our humble beginnings in August 2003 and past several large milestones so far.  We've had 13 stable releases since we started and we have 2 more (1.8.1 maintenance release for 1.8.0 and 1.9.0 Integrity) in the wings being worked on.  We've seen the torch passed from the original authors of the framework to the current Team Mach-II a few years ago.  We think things are going absolutely fabulously.

The best gift you can bring to the party is to bring the gift of your time by contributing back the framework you know and love.  There's plenty to do from documenation, sample applications, enhancements to the dashboard, new things for the website and more.  If you don't know how to get involved, feel free to ping us at team [at] mach-ii.com for help.  Or you can promote the framework by writing a blog post about one of the features you are using in the framework (ping us so we can feature your blog post ).

Happy 7th Birthday Mach-II! May we see many more years in this new age of CFML development.
