After taking October off for Flashpitt and having a few “off-site” meetings, we are back to our usual format and back in our usual space! To celebrate the return, we’ll have free food and software giveaways on top of our regular presentations.

You read that right, we’ll be doing a software giveaway at this meeting.  All the meeting sign-ins for the last 6 months will be entered into a drawing for $2100 worth of Adobe Software. You must be present to win! If that isn’t enough, we also have a Flexbuilder 3 license to give away as well. So that’s two chances to win free software. Not a bad deal, huh?

We also have a great meeting planned:

Interactive Installation at the August Wilson Center – Chris Natale & Jon Dascola
Chris and Jon created an interactive installation for the newly opened August Wilson Center created in Flash/ActionScript 3.0. The installation allows visitors to text message their wants and needs onto a video projection, and vote for existing wants and needs as well. A webcam-based motion detection system and a basic physics engine allows visitors to bounce the orbs around the projection.

For more info, and to try out the installation from your computer, check out this post.

News and New Things – Josh Sager & Val Head
There’s been quite a few new product and service announcements from Adobe after MAX. Josh and Val will be going over some details on a couple of the more notable announcements. Josh will show what you can do with Adobe Browser Labs. It’s an online tool for checking web sites in a variety of browsers all in one place. Val will be going over some details on the Applications for the iPhone feature coming up in Flash CS5.

Please RSVP via email or  facebook so we know how much food to order.
