Hi Ian,
Adobe's been (rather silently) doing the odd live online conference
for future Apollo developers. Keep an eye out on Adobe's events page.
The next one is scheduled for Nov 28th:

event=detail&id=648909&loc=en_us
I must admit, the quality and lack of problems in the previous
presentation was surprising considering the mix of slides, live voip,
live screencasts and live Q&A.
Anyone here attending MiniCamp tomorrow?
P.S. I'm trying to transfer this list to my other mail account but
the delay on the manual subscriber approval has been a few days -
broke or busy?
Regards,
Gareth Rodger

Hi All,
I've finally made it back from the north of England. Had a very
good time in Newcastle and Leeds.
But I was made aware of two nice technologies which might be useful
for Backstage Prototypes in the future.
First up is Comet which is basically a server push without any
client interaction. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)
And the second one is Adobe's Apollo. Which is a cross-OS runtime
that allows developers to leverage their existing web development
skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, Ajax) to build and deploy desktop Rich
Internet Apps. Although this sounds a lot like XulRunner, it might
worth checking out because its more like a massive widget engine.
