For those that haven’t seen/heard, Adobe had a quiet launch of Acrobat.com this last week. Very slick Flex interface and it looks like it might turn into a good alternative to Google Docs for document collaboration.

It’s time for our June meeting. This month Dmitry from Cynergy Systems will be giving a presentation on their winning entry for the Phizzpop 2008 finales and discuss his experiences and perspectives doing work in both the Flex and Silverlight RIA landscapes.
Here’s a snippet from the press release regarding the application:
Held at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW) in Austin, Texas on Monday, March 10th, 2008, Cynergy presented its application known as “ben”, a series of inter-connected, cross-platform applications that leverage the power of Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation, Live Services, Twitter and VoIP technologies. “ben”, named for Benjamin Franklin, captivated the excitement of the crowd of over 500 attendees with a dizzying array of features culminating as the Cynergy team placed a call to Barack Obama from their Silverlight Facebook application using VoIP technology and left a message “Hello from SXSW” on the Obama campaign’s answering machine.
Time permitting, I’d then like to open up the floor and see if we can’t get some discussion going around Design Patterns and Test Driven Development. As always, if anyone has anything else they’d like to discuss or has a presentation they’d like to give, just shoot me an email to kyle@sdfug.org and we’ll get it all setup. I look forward to seeing you all next week!
When:
Wednesday, June 4th
7 - 9 PM
Where:
Veoh Networks
10180 Telesis Court, 4th Floor
San Diego, CA 92121
There’s plenty of parking in front of the building. Once you’re parked, just head up to the main entrance where I’ll be waiting to take everyone upstairs.

For all those that haven’t heard the announcement yet, pretty exciting development taking place at Adobe (everyone in the group seems to be pretty close the info, but I’ll post it anyways). They just announced that they will be publishing the .swf and .flv/.f4v file format specifications. I think we can all use our imaginations about what kind of doors this opens for the format:
