Thanks everyone! This is a huge responsibility and I will do my best to do justice to it.
Just a bit about me: My background is in computer graphics and user interface programming. I have been working with the Flash platform from Flash 5 onwards. I have worked with ActionScript1 and have done prototype based programming before it was cool (hipster alert!) I started building enterprise applications using Flash MX 2004 and ActionScript 2. It was cool, but it lacked several very important features. Moreover, I had to build a whole lot of things multiple times for different projects. Then came Flex 2 + ActionScript3 and (almost) all my problems were instantly solved. Since then, I have never looked back and never had to even look at any other framework/technology to build interactive web applications. I also want to take this time to give a shout out to the Adobe(Macromedia) engineers who built the wonderful Flex framework and SDK. We are the first to scream when we find issues or bugs, but we need to take a moment and thank them for creating it in the first place and now donating it to Apache. Special thanks to Alex and Carol for keeping a cool head through the transition. It is not easy to have thousands of developers all around the world breathing down on your necks when your trying to code. Not to mention a needlessly belligerent tech community that wants to see this technology fail. Flex is the BEST multi-platform application framework that exists today. Lets make it better :-) Thanks, Om On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 6:53 AM, Joan Llenas Masó <j...@garnet.io> wrote: > Congrats! > keep it up! > > -- > Joan Llenas Masó > CTO Garnet Works SL > T. 93 848 57 27 > -- > @joangarnet (es) > @joanllenas (en) > http://joan.garnet.io > > > > > > On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 3:49 PM, Carol Frampton <cfram...@adobe.com> > wrote: > > > Welcome. > > > > On 6/28/12 9 :34PM, "JP Bader" <j...@zavteq.com> wrote: > > > > >Mazel tov!
