I'm shocked they are basically abandoning Flex in the long run. Just
seems like they encountered a little head winds, and just said "Screw
it." This was the feeling I was getting the more I read from other
Flex developers out there that Adobe was giving up. And this pretty
much confirmed it. HTML5 is not all that on mobile. There are a lot
of limitations and browser support is pretty spotty. Didn't Adobe
just try to smooth over the basket of hell they opened with
these announcements with the whole "We did a bad job explaining
why..." blog post, then this essentially says "It's over, use HTML5,
good bye, ps it'll be open sourced if you are stuck with it. Turn off
the lights when you done."
So who wants to start a SVG user group? :-)

The key part is..
"we are planning to contribute the Flex SDK to an open source
foundation in the same way we contributed PhoneGap to the Apache
Foundation when we acquired Nitobi"
That's all we know at this point. I thought Adobe had enough
craziness for one week, but I guess they had one more surprise to
throw out there. The possible foundation to take over is called
Spoon and you can read about them at http://www.spoon.as
