Nice move, I think that this should happen in Vic also. In fact the Flash / Flex / CF UG should become one. Especially the CF / Flex stuff, there is a lot of cross benefit there for both sides. Who knows might happen, the Flex UG Manager was at the CF UG this month :) Regards Dale Fraser

I think that this should happen in Vic also. every area is different, it comes down to what the users want: a story: in the latter half of 2006, Brisbane found itself faced with a situation where lots of Flex and AIR interest was infiltrating the multimedia-based user group (QMUG) and the

I in part agree with Rae, that maybe the groups could do with an overhaul, in that are you being to fragmented? or is that a good thing? maybe a Australia wide survey would be in order .. I also think that to isolate in on one technology maybe limiting in some parts - hear me out. In that should

Barry, I disagree. I've probed people from Php, .NET, RoR, Flash, Silverlight, Java and even COBOL (lol).. I floated the notion that what would you prefer a technology focused group based around one brand, or a themed technology group that is based around many brands but adhere to the theme. I
