Hi Rob and Awayers...
I am volunteering at the event, I am flying over sat, probably go to a
really chilled out restaurant meal with some optional dancing at a
place I went to a few years back when on a papervision course (before
away was big), the food is reasonable and good, it is a really nice
atmosphere, and it doubles as a salsa club, slightly off the tourist
beat, but that is a good thing, and it the sort of place you can talk
to good mix of people and... along side flash I also addicted to
salsa :). If you into getting stoned then we could do coffee before/
after, but I like to dance and meet inhabitance, and it is the type of
place where dancers can dance and thinkers can sit and chat with good
views.

If anyone wants to join me then let me know. Still have not booked
accommodation so open to suggestions.
Cheers

Good morning A-List!
Hopefully you are still reading my posts - i admit there has been a
lot of catching up to do!
This has mostly been due to time taken up with writing our very
first Away3D book, due for publication by Friends of Ed in the near
future
http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Guide-3D-Flash/dp/1430225416/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255029921&sr=8-1
We also have an update on the way for the materials in the Flash 10
branch, plus a lot of fixes and updates that will be made official
in our next major releases of the 2.5 and 3.5 versions of the main
engine
Sadly, the 2.5 version of Away3D will be the last major release for
Flash 9. After that, we will be continuing the development of the
Flash 10 version of the main branch, as well as Away3D Lite of
course. The Flash 9 branch will still have maintenance updates, but
with Flash 10 now adopted by the majority of developers,
concentrating on some cool new features in this area seems like the
best use of the limited 24 hours in a day ;)
There are also a few new items on the horizon relating to Flash
Mobile, which we should be able to reveal more details on soon.
Going back to the subject of books, I'd like to make a call out to
any authors in the area who may be interested in helping out with a
follow-up book to our first. Drop us a line off list if you want to
know more - anyone going through the team would obviously get full
review support to help with code checks, integrating with updates etc.
Finally, if anyone is going to be at the upcoming FITC conference in
Amsterdam, there is a small group of us attending and we'd be very
happy to arrange a meetup with fellow Away3D'ers - just let us know!
