Wow – CS4 Totally rocked everyone’s World!
Firstly an extra huge thank you to our surprise (yes it was a surprise to me until late this morning) presenter Adobe Flash Evangelist Paul Burnett. Our user group held it’s CS4 launch tonight, yes it was later than we anticipated due to lack of available time to organise for the 2nd October. Having said that the timing was absolutely perfect, coinciding (without planning or prior knowledge) with the official production release of CS4.
Paul fresh off a plane from Seoul Korea, made his way to Canberra and blew everyone away, the audience included print designers, web designers/developers and Federal Government agencies. In the 1.5 hour impromptu presentation Paul managed to cover the most mind blowing features of CS4 and yet only touched the tip of the massive iceberg.
Thank you to awesome co-manager Simon Janssens for organising this meeting, I could not have done it without him. The co-manager program put in place by Adobe for User Groups WORKS a treat!
Lots of interest generated in CS4, seems everyone wanted it right there and then, and hey, who could blame them. My only lament is ‘OMG… soon all the really sexy parts of dev work will be automated… oh no says my developer persona 
‘
Adobe… high five… you guys totally rock the planet!
Cheers,
R
Call for New Members
Now that I’ve crawled out from under the rock of responding to three RFT’s concurrently, taking a deep breath, relaxing the shoulders OM, OM, OM!
It’s time to focus on the User Group. Proud to announce that I’m now on the AUG list and received a hearty welcome from many.
Here is a link to the Google group for discussions, please, please join http://groups.google.com/group/actapug tell all your developer and non-developer Adobe users about us and encourage them to join. Although the group in Canberra based, outside members are more than welcome.
Remember the group is not product specific and covers all Adobe products, the more members we have in the group the more useful and successful it will be.
