Adobe Flex User Group Tour – Denver

January 19, 2012 By John

We’re happy to be a part of the Adobe User Group Roadshow this year. If you’re not sure what we’re talking about, Adobe announced the dates and locations (US only so far) of their international User Group Road Show. We’re stoked that Denver is on the list and that the RMAUG and RIA 5280 are co-hosting, you can RSVP here. This will be a great pre-curser to 360|Flex (also in Denver) in April.

These road shows are great opportunities to meet Adobeans who don’t usually make the User Group Circuit and really get a feel for the community. Adobe chips in some money for beer and food, so these meetings are usually a bit bigger and more of a “Thing” than your average user group meeting. You’ll have a chance to talk one-on-one with Adobe engineers and evangelists. Something that doesn’t happen often outside of conferences.

They’re always fun. Always a great learning experience. Get the latest details on the open sourcing of Adobe into the Apache foundation, and probably some good tidbits on the next Flash builder… just a guess :)

We’re happy to be providing two tickets to 360|Flex 2012 to be raffled off during the meeting as well, so if you’re still on the fence (really we can’t fathom that, but you never know) about attending the most awesome event in the Flex/AIR/ActionScript space, you’ll have two chances to win a free ticket.

Make sure you RSVP so that the organizers know how much food and beer to get. And if you don’t want to take your chances on winning a free ticket, register now for 360|Flex 2012 before it sells out. It did last year.

360Flex 2011 – win a Viewsonic gTablet

April 6, 2011 By John

Building kick ass Air for Android stuff but can’t quite afford a Motorola Xoom to test it on? Well don’t worry,

1. the ~~Xoom doesn’t run Flash~~ (thanks to Jesse and Brian. My bad it runs a beta of 10.2 and apparently not that well. it IS still retardedly expensive)

2. the Viewsonic gTablet does :) and you can win one at 360|Flex 2011

The gTab is also a mean powerhouse of a machine, that will (officially or not) support honeycomb. Just look at the specs. It’s also completely unlocked and rooted, so you can load whatever you like on it!

So how can you win this bad boy? Easy. Just show up.

We’ve teased a few photos, and I’ll let the cat out of the bag just for this. Every attendee get’s a cute little android figure :)

They’re green and cute and all that :)

14 people will randomly get an artsier version of Andy…

We ordered a few of these little guys too, there’s 12 different designs. We’re going to put a note in one of them letting that person know that they’ve won the gTab. Andy’s will be placed in goodie bags before the conference and no one but me will know which box has the winning note. To be extra sure it’s not easy to tell for our (above suspicion) volunteer bag stuffers. All 14 artsy Andys will be opened so that the winner won’t stick out and be obvious.

Every attendee get’s a bag, and every attendee will get an Andy, but only one will also get the gTab.

See you next week! Oh and it’s not too late to register, but it’s almost too late. Only about 10 tickets left! Register now!
