Unbelievable! Thanks for the encouraging words however.

For a start it's not a Macromedia vs Allaire issue :-) Remember that both John and myself are originally from Allaire. It's basically comes down to the audiences we get for <em>this sort</em> of event. Keeping in mind that we're a pretty small team here we try to cover as many cities as possible in each tour while at the same time trying to minimise the number of divorces and cases of children not recognising their parents within the team . For the last few years (including the MX launch) Canberra have been included in the first round of the tour, while cities like Perth and Auckland have been covered in a second tour several months later. This was despite the fact that the audiences in these cities were usually 2-3 times the size of the Canberra audience. Yesterday was the first time Perth were included in the first round tour - we felt we owed it to them with all the great stuff going on over there (e.g. the BOCs ticketing RIA, lots of CF in government). As for Canberra, at least there was a launch event within a three hour drive (many from Canberra, Newcastle and Woolongong attended the Sydney event, I spoke to one guy who drove down from Orange). We'll repeat the content in Canberra sometime over the next few months, preferably at a user group meeting. This isn't to say we're forgetting about Canberra, it's just that we think there are more effective ways to communicate with our customers there than big launch events. Personally I've already been in Canberra twice in the last few weeks presenting to departments and working with our resellers and partners - which seems to work well. To get to the general developer community I'd rather work with you (thanks for taking on the CFUG BTW!) and Emma to continue building up the user groups and getting the message, skills and community links out there. Now, off to the airport for the Brisvegas launch :-) Cheers, -- Robin Hilliard Technical Sales Engineer - Australia/New Zealand Certified Advanced Cold Fusion MX Developer Certified Flash MX Developer Macromedia, Inc.
