Thanks to everyone who came out the December meeting! It was great to hear everyone’s thoughts about the recent events.
Meetings:
We are going to co-meet with the San Diego Adobe Developer User Group. We have done this in the past for special events. Now that we are co-meeting, maybe we can extend the reach of the user groups. Meetings will still be held at the Art Institute on the first Monday of the month at 6pm
Topics:
We will expand beyond the Flash Platform. There will still be a focus on Adobe-based solutions, but look for presentations on jQuery, Appcelerator, Scala, HTML5. As always, if you have a topic you want to talk about, let us know and we are happy to give you the podium! Also we will try to have a few hands-on sessions.
Agenda:
We are going to try to socialize up the meetings some. The first part of the meeting will be spend in general introductions and networking. Then we will have a ‘News of the Month’ section, then about 7pm we will have the main presentation.
Remember, no meeting in January! But we will be back in February discussing What’s New in Adobe AIR 3. Hope to see you there and have a happy and safe holidays!

O’Reilly has published a set of books by Joseph Labrecque: “What’s New in Flash Player 11” and “What’s New in Adobe AIR 3“. These books are companion pieces as there is obvious overlap between what is new in each runtime, but are unique enough to require this manner of separation per volume.
The books are currently only available in digital format (ePub, Mobi, PDF) and can actually be acquired for FREE*! They will soon also be available from Amazon.com (Kindle), Barnes and Noble, Safari Books Online, and other online retailers.
I was fortunate enough to be one of the technical reviewers on them, and they are a great series of overview books.

The Multimedia department (http://www.sdmesa.edu/multimedia/index.cfm) at Mesa College needs to form an advisory group for Perkins fund. This is a federal fund which helps them keep their software and the computers updated. The district does not have the funding for these things. They need 10 members to volunteer for this advisory group, they would only need to meet once per semester, so just twice a year. The goal is to have industry people provide feedback on our Multimedia department, the advisory group’s input would be vital to shaping our course content so students graduate with the skills and knowledge to be successful in this field. Meetings can be held after the regular SDFUG meeting.
Please contact Alfonso Saballett (asaballe@sdccd.edu), Professor of Multimedia, Mesa College, for more information.

From long time user group member Julian Bryant:
Startup Weekend San Diego is an intense weekend-long event gathering entrepreneurship enthusiasts of all talent types to form teams and launch their business ideas as startups in only 54 hours. Startup Weekend is a non-profit run out of Seattle that has held over 400 events in cities around the world.
In the span of a weekend, teams of coders, designers, marketers, and business developers will work together to take an idea from inception to launch. Experienced entrepreneurs and investors will join us to act as mentors and advisors for teams. You don’t have to bring an idea and team to participate, and any project is fair game. If you have a startup idea, want to join a startup, or are looking to learn from experienced mentors, this is the place to be.
Register here and use the code “startmeup” for $24 off registration: http://swsd3.eventbrite.com
We are also offering a Sponsorship Special for companies who would like to send two employees to the event. Also included are two additional tickets to Demo Night, a table for promoting your company on opening night, and more! Visit our website at http://sandiego.startupweekend.org for more details.
