We have a packed meeting planned for February 3rd at 6pm at the Art Institute of San Diego. First off we will have a representative from Chumby. For those of you who do not know what Chumby:

chumby takes your favorite parts of the internet and delivers them to you in a friendly, always-on, always-fresh format. It’s a window into your internet life that lives outside your desktop, so content like weather, news, celebrity gossip, podcasts, music, and more has a place to play away from your world of documents and spreadsheets. Just plug in your chumby, connect to your network, and use your computer to create a lineup of favorites from over 1,500 widgets in more than 30 categories, with new ones arriving all the time. Then let your chumby do its thing — streaming everything you like, from sports scores to stock quotes, from video clips to interactive games, from photos to trivia.

They currently have two devices, the classic and the Chumby One. However, at the recent CES show in Las Vegas, several new concepts were shown; a Samsung / Chumby prototype digiframe and the Chumby Sunfury Touchscreen tablet. Hopefully we can learn more about these products as well.

We will hopefully have a recap from FlashCamp Brazil that was recently held. The event was organized by our own Demian Borba (who has been honored as an Adobe Community Professional (formerly Adobe Community Experts).

Here is a tweet from @ddura about the event:

Big shout out to @demianborba for putting on one of the best Flash events I have ever been to. Can’t wait for next year! #flashcampbrasil

Maybe we might think about a FlashCamp here in San Diego???

We will wrap up the meeting with an open forum. So if you have questions, not sure how to do something, want to demo a project, bring it on!

And one more thing. We are going to try having pizza at the meeting. I will stop by Costco before the meeting and pick up a few pizzas. We will charge $1 per slice (unless someone wants to sponsor it). Please RSVP with on Adobe Groups site so I will have an idea of how many to purchase.
