So who else went to Spark this week?

I think I'm going to be hungover for a week! Amsterdam was a top venue. Some extremely talented people over there, and nice to meet the "organ grinders" from Macromedia aswell. Hats off to Stewart McBride for putting the whole thing together.

Flex 2 looks excellent, and Red5 is definitely going to make a name for itself as an open source alternative to Media Server next year. Top tip has got to be Flash Lite though. When the likes of Nokia and Sony start shipping the player on their phones in EU/US the market for that is going to explode.

Time to start saving up for next year :D

If anyone is interested in checking out a little of the roadmap, head over to http://www.fabchannel.com/ and search for Kevin Lynch. The whole keynote speech and demos are archived there.

Ah crap! Why do I always miss out on these things... I didn't even know about there being a MM event in Holland, I really gotta keep an eye on this stuff, is there a list of events or something on the MM-site?

For those that didn't make it, check out http://spark.fabchannel.com . The videso which were posted on 17-11-2005 are some recorded at SPARK. Setting looks pretty nice...

PS. Just kidding Jesse, I know you're busy ;)

[Jesse]

Hehe ok I'll try to remember that. Kind of our own fault; been so busy we didn't get to asking around for someone to represent us until last week. Have been SPARK partners for a couple of months... Next time we'll get onto it sooner :)

[Ruben]

Hey if you need someone to represent as[org] I would be more (read: MORE) then happy to go, so shout if there's something going on in the Netherlands (and if you think I'm suitable for representing the site ;))
