360Flex – Signing the Welcome banner
Since the very first 360|Flex, we’ve had a tradition. We hang a nice big banner somewhere everyone can see it. It’s up (usually) on Sunday, and hangs until Tuesday night, when it’s taken down and draped across a table for every attendee to sign.
This tradition, as most do, didn’t start as a tradition, but come the second 360|Flex, Tom and I thought, that the first one was really cool, and made a second one, then a third, forth, and so on.
360Flex – Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
We closed the post conference survey last night, hope you took a few minutes to participate.
Those surveys are super huge for us. They give our attendees a chance to tell us what they think of the event. Often times people are brutally honest, and we want that. If you had a terrible time, we want to know about it and make the next conference better. If you had an awesome time, we want to know that too.
Besides that type of feedback, the survey gives us some insight into our attendee demographic. That helps us with sponsorships (Adobe likes to see how many new Flex developers we help bring to the community, etc), and with stuff like food ordering (we heard you guys loud and clear on that one) and even shirts. The survey also helps us plan for the future; locations, sizes, etc.
As a way to say thanks for doing one last small thing to help make 360|Flex better, we pick two surveys at random (using Random.org to select a row number) to give prizes to.
Hopefully next time we’ll get better than 1/3 participation in the survey, I mean, come on guys :)
Anyhoo! The winners are selected, and each has an email in their inbox, so we’ll announce them here too!
Leif Wells and Andrew Blair!
We teased in the email about getting an iPad, and we’re leaving it up to each winner to select their prize (within our budget, come on we’re not made of money, LOL)
Thanks so much to everyone who submitted a survey, we truly truly appreciate it, and to those that didn’t, shame on you :)
See you guys in about 6 months!

360Flex Road Trip!
We’re in the final stretch for 360|Flex San Jose 2010. Everything is coming together just nicely as this proves to be another amazing show. If you’re on the fence about coming, it’s a bit late to get cheap flights. However, it’s never too late to plan a road trip.
Thinking back to our very first 360|Flex, I remember the “Man Funk” road trippers. They weren’t soul brothas with skills like James Brown. No, they were the other kinda funk. The one that fills a car after a few days with unshowered men. :) I won’t embarrass them by calling them out by name, alright maybe I will. I’ll call out Rance Patterson because we’re now good friends. He, his brother and another innocent soul braved a road trip from Boise, Idaho all the way down to San Jose. I’m sure glad they did too, because Rance is a hoot and one of the many gems I’ve met during my tenure with 360|Flex.
360Flex – Wiki
If you saw the announcement of BOF sessions, you know we have a wiki we use for the ad hoc stuff around the conference.
We updated the wiki for one more bit of ad hoc. Activities.
If you’re planning a trip to Adobe HQ or a specific bar one night, or a movie on Wednesday or lunch on Saturday before the conference, whatever. Post it on the activities page of the wiki.
This way folks looking for the fun, can find it easily ;) It truly does suck to have to hunt for fun :)
On the main page of the wiki is also a few links for hotel searches in the area. If you missed the room block, shame on you, but we don’t want ya sleepin’ on the street, so check those links for other options.
