360MAX – Submit your topic!
I’m happy to announce that once again, we’ll be bringing the special 360|Flex brand of community awesomeness (unicorns) to Adobe MAX. Today officially opens the window to submit topics. Previously we’ve done it as a wiki and more or less a free for all. This time around we’re trying something different. we have a theme [...]
360Flex – Why you need to be at the Hilton
You’re coming to 360|Flex right? Then you should be staying at the conference hotel. Why? Why drive/walk/train/etc. from one hotel to the next, missing the evening parties, etc. An awesome room rate. Even paying less elsewhere you then have to travel, that sucks. The room rate is pretty darn good! Why miss out on the [...]
360Flex – Volunteers needed
For those that were at 360|Flex San Jose this past year you’ll know we had volunteers to help out. The volunteers were a HUGE help, and a large part of why the conference was probably the smoothest we’ve ever done. It’s that time again for our call for volunteers! Why do we want volunteers? Obviously [...]
360Flex – Jesse vs. Jesse
Make sure you’re in Washington DC this fall, for what surely will go down in the Flash Platform annuls as the most awesome head to head discussion EVER.
The Jesse’s will be going head to head talking about the merits of Flex and ActionScript, and why they think one is better than the other. This talk was born on twitter, quite literally! This is why the Flex community is so damn awesome!
Don’t miss this epic battle of wills, and possible water bottles! Register now, before it’s too late.
360Flex – Things you’ll see in DC – Part 1
We’re hard at work locking in great sponsors (see two of them below), and awesome content, and I wanted to share a little with everyone.
Keynotes
Obviously monday’s keynote will be something to not miss. Not only will Adobe be giving us a peak at what’s new/hot/coming soon, but we’re handing over the mic, and the room to Doug McCune.
Sure we all know Doug from “Cool Shit” at Indianapolis, and plenty of other awesome, if not always child friendly sessions, but he’s also ridiculously smart, and a great speaker (Check out his RIAdventure talk, and tell me it’s not motivating). 360|Flex since the beginning has opened with more staid keynotes. Adobe (Ebay when we’re there) giving more state of the union style talks, previews, etc. I’d like to change that.
While we don’t want to completely move away from that, we do want to start raising the bar in the community, for events. Deepa is awesome, and I hope she come to DC to wow us (Check out her keynote from 360|Flex San Jose, it’s free just put it in the cart), but I think it’d be cool to get the community jazzed about what we do. We’re not stodgy old programmers building dashboards, and Web service front ends. We’re doing cool things! Let’s talk about that! Let’s talk about what isn’t done but is possible. Let’s talk about what isn’t possible and how that’s not stopping us!
