Hello Jens,

I'm very sorry about that. We have enabled HTML5 version of Adobe
connect and were under impression that it would allow anybody to
participate with just a browser. But today, I tested joining from my
Linux and ChromeOS laptops and it turned out Adobe connect somehow
evaluates User-agent string and offers HTML5 version only if your
browser and operating system is approved. I only succeeded to connect to
HTML5 version from Linux when I had my Firefox emulate Chrome on Windows.

We will definitely reconsider using Adobe connect for next event. This
event will be recorded and the recording will be published on an
IPv6-ready platform that doesn't enforce Flash, so you will be able to
at least follow the recordings. I know it's not as good as following the
event live, but that's everything I can offer you right now :(
