I like the idea of having a dedicated CF evangelist for ANZ.
The purpose of this would be to 1. Talk to existing customers 2. Talk to companies big and small using other technologies 3. Demonstrate at conferences 4. Attend User Groups and CAMPS 5. Take CTO's of companies who use CF out to lunch 5. is optional J Mark, I think you would be good in this role, perhaps you should pitch to Adobe the idea if you're interested, and if not there are probably other people out there that would be good. I think selling into schools is harder as the students still need to deal with the fact it's not free in their personal projects. In the corporate world, its not hard to justify the cost with the time saving, I've done it multiple times.

Firmware, a tiny company compared to Adobe, with comparatively minuscule resources ran CF seminars and demonstrations which attendees like me who knew nothing of CF were blown away by the ease of development. After my first seminar, they sold me my first copy of CF 4.0 on the way out and there were others in the queue eager to hand over their dosh and get into CF! So, yes, designated resellers with some incentive to sell CF to Corporates, Govt, Everyone!
