Hi, At Devoxx and Devoxx France (initially, Devoxx is an annual European Java, Android and HTML5 conference which reached 3400 attendees from 40 different countries in 2011), Flex is not represented since Adobe doesn't own it anymore, I guess there are many other kinds of places like that where Adobe Flex was represented and where it's not the case anymore, I guess a good start could be to enumerate those conferences and organize to have speakers there to introduce Flex as in how it is powerful in the perspective of the current technical needs (Eg those unmet by HTML5 in big company projects).

One definition might be: "maintaining the project status quo by preventing any discussion about common goals" Another might be: "bringing the power of the Flex framework to multiple, vendor independent platforms" Or even: "one framework to rule them all" ;-) I'm not saying we need any kind of fixed target or anything else that might somehow be in conflict with the strict definition of the Apache Way, what I'm looking for is giving people willing to help out evangelising Apache Flex some kind of handle, something to start building an effective campaign upon.
