David Mendels spoke to a Flex class I attended in Boston a
few weeks ago, and was eloquent and supportive in his discussions of OS as it
relates to Macrodobe's goals. While the details are up to him to discuss, I came
away with the impression that he and his company have a progressive and open
minded approach to the OS community.
P.S. David, I meant no offense with my comment about
MX2004 documentation ;-)

Hi,
to be clear, I meant this in the sense of "topics".
We have ongoing discussions about how we work with the OS community, what we
should open source, what we should publish, etc.

Flash and Open Source with our new Adobe colleagues.
