The Product Management teams of Adobe Flash Platform Development
tooling are visiting Bangalore for a few days this January.We
are inviting developers on the Adobe Flash Platform
(specifically Adobe Flex and Adobe ColdFusion), to interact with
the product management team.This is a great chance to share your
experiences and provide feedback.

We have already sent invites to a cross section of the developer
community in Bangalore, to attend this meeting in person. This
meeting will happen on Jan 19 at 6.30 pm.

To enable developers from other Indian cities participate, we
are also setting up a voice conference on 21st Jan, at 4pm. I
had earlier written about remote participants dialing in to this
meeting, but we have decided to decouple the two meetings.

For attending the teleconference, interested developers must
register at http://meetflexcfpm.eventbrite.com. The conference
bridge details will be sent over mail to those who register at
the site.

Feel free to circulate this message to key members (active
Flex/CF developers within the user groups you lead); who may be
interested in attending the teleconference.

Please do note that we have limited capacity for the audio
conference as well; and therefore request you to register your
interest ASAP and login to the conference bridge in time.

Cheers

We had a very successful user group meeting at Oberon mall on 12th Dec 2009. Being the first meeting it was conducted on an unofficial manner in order to measure the attendance and support of the members and as a bench mark to plan ahead for future meetups.

From Adibe User Group meet 12th Dec 09

I would be entirely grateful to Mr. Vipin Chandran and all the members of Toobler for making the event a success. Majority attendees were from toobler under the guidance of Jerry and Bobbin. We had SEO specialists, PHP expert, Artists (award winning at that), cold fusion expert, Flex and flash developers.

From Adibe User Group meet 12th Dec 09

We started off when the team from toobler reached us. We were joined by Musavir and couple of others later on. We had general discussions, introductions and the distribution of the Adobe goodies. We venue was not exactly suitable for open discussions as there was this music going on. Yet once vipin joined us things heated up as he took everything into control with expert views and opinions from his vast experience with Adobe software.

From Adibe User Group meet 12th Dec 09

Later on we decided to have a stand up talk anchored by Vipin where we had some discussions on web services, flex 4, Cold fusion Builder etc. He advised on how to move forward with the group and gave some valid points regarding other User groups and meeting which he had known in his 9+ years of industrial experience.

From Adibe User Group meet 12th Dec 09

We all had a lot to learn from the bits of info he was sharing. He also told the team about planning the next meeting more officially with dedicated sessions and support infrastructure. Later on we planned about spreading awareness about the user group among other IT companies and institutions and taking it to the next level in 2010. We have decided to conduct next UG meet in Kochi itself at a more dedicated meeting space with projectors and sessions. All those who missed out on this one are welcome to join up and be active in strengthening the activities and spreading the news.

Special thanks to all those who attended
