The fine folks over at 360 Conferences are soliciting our input to help shape the future of the 360 Flex conferences. If you’ve ever been to a 360 Flex or if you’re simply and opinionated conference attendee please take a minute to complete the short 3 question survey.
For those of you that have been suffering night terrors ever since you passed on the opportunity to attend Apollo Camp San Francisco, redemption is at hand.
Mike Chambers just twittered/announced the onAIR Summer Bus Tour. Looks like a motley crew of Flex, AIR and Javascript developers are going to pile into a 12 person Prevhost bus and travel to 18 cities over July, August and September. They’ll be hosting free developer conferences for anyone interested in learning more about Adobe AIR.
Checkout the onAIR Tour web site, it has quite a bit of info even at this early date. They’ll have a “Live From the Bus” feed (oh that should produce some interesting entertainment!) and there’s even an API for the Tour.
I’m excited to see that my nearest “big” city of Portland Oregon is on the tour schedule. Hopefully some of my peeps from COWPU will join me on a trip over the mountain in July.
I’m more than impressed with the Apollo Camp schwag bag. First of all I wasn’t expecting anything other then Apollo Alpha 1. Here’s what we received:
On the way into the Adobe offices they asked us Windows or Mac and handed us our copy of FB. The guy in front of me said “This is a demo right”. When the gal said no, I was blown away. Thanks Adobe! I’m deeply impressed. Gotta go the keynote is about to start. More later.
I’m at 360 Flex this week so I’ll be blogging as much as I can about the conference. It hasn’t officially started yet and already it’s been really fun. Yesterday, after the pre-reg everyone meet at the Holiday Inn house restaurant for drinks and conversation (Thanks for buying Ted!!). I had some great conversations ranging from application development to XBox to Sci-Fi TV (Firefly, Battlestar Galactica). If you want to follow the conference, in addition to the usual blogging there’s a Twitter back channel and a Flickr account. I forgot my camera so any pictures will be from my Macbook Pro (that should be a fun experiment)
