 The group died.

you're looking at the wrong group. The one Bjorn.S started is a Yahoo
group.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexaussie/

Pretty sure Dale is actually talking about the Melbourne Flex user group not
the mailing list.

http://www.ozfx.org/

The group was good bunch of people then all of a sudden its stopped
happening.

 Really Andrew Spaulding should be running it

with respect, Dale, I strongly disagree. @spaulds does enough for the
community. He's a paid employee of Adobe to be developer relations -
the meat in the sandwich between AdobeAU and developers having trouble
with projects or need support. While that sounds like community stuff,
it's much more than that. He's got a day gig, he's got a life, he
volunteers left, right and centre. I think it's unfair to load him
down with stuff that, frankly, the community should own and control.

in the end if people want a service like flexaussie, then they have to
do their bit. Use it or lose it, people. Flexaussie had great
potential as an alternative to the far-too-busy FlexCoders list, but I
don't think many people realised that. OK, so the Flex talent in Au/NZ
is not big in numbers, but it's still early days in the big scheme of
things. and if no one bothers it's not going to get anywhere.

the last point is regarding independence. If the community continually
goes around asking Adobe to hold their hand then we lose the right to
have a voice. In the area of user groups, other platforms micro-manage
their groups and tightly control them. The Adobe groups I belong to
have no problem saying if something Adobe has done is a bad idea, or a
product is rubbish - in fact our members expect that sort of cutting
through the BS.

As I said, use it or lose it, people.

meh my 2c

 Pretty sure Dale is actually talking about the Melbourne Flex user group not
 the mailing list.

 http://www.ozfx.org/

fair enough, but I hope the comments about co-opting an Adobe employee
into it is understood although  it's a Melbourneites call so I'll shut
up now.

It's a pity the user group folded before the idea to have co-managers
started. It's to try and avoid exactly that - someone to carry it on.

but hey, the user group manager is just one person. If people don't
want it, then perhaps it wasn't meant to be?
