That was *not* done by Adobe - it was done by the UG manager. A lot of CFUGs are being asked to cover non-CF topics - it happens in my three local groups too. Attendees want a broader range of topics. That broader range attracts more developers (non-CF developers) and so the group does better. If you want your local CFUG to stay CF-focused, you need to encourage CFers to actually *attend* :) Look at this: http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2olvoj6g4ek9zt3/results Over a third of respondents *never* attend a UG meeting and nearly 20% only attend one a year!
