Todd Rafferty - Community Manager
Todd Rafferty has been diligent in his support of the CFML language since being introduced to Allaire ColdFusion the spring of 1998. Whether it was through his involvement with Team Macromedia (2002 - 2004), continuous participation in Macromedia/Adobe Beta programs, ongoing commitments to a variety of CFML discussion boards, or stepping into his latest role as the Railo Open Source Community Manager, Todd has been dedicated to the advancement and improvement of CFML and its supporters.
With more than 10 years of real world application development experience, Todd has had the opportunity to utilize several open source tools, but never the opportunity to be actively involved in their development. By joining the Railo Team Todd hopes to recruit new developers to CFML and introduce them to a non-proprietary format of the language.

Andrew Mercer – Community Manager, AU
Andrew joins the Railo Team to continue his efforts to promote CFML in Australia and the rest of the APAC region. He brings close to 10 years of web development experience with him, 5 as a ColdFusion User Group Manager, and recently as a speaker as webDU and cf.Objective(ANZ).
Andrew is one of the many that believe for CFML to be widely adopted by the web development world there needs to be a free version – and that is how he discovered Railo. Impressed by its compatibility, performance and rapid response for the support team, he not only adopted it to run his own website and projects, but approached and helped many framework developers get their product running on Railo. These include ColdBox, MangoBlog and Farcry CFM.
