The call for Team Macromedia and UG Managers today was actually extremely limited because they are so constrained with what they can say at this point. Everything on the call was public knowledge coming from these three main sources:
http://www.markme.com/mesh/archives/007504.cfm http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/adobeandmacromedia.html http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/pdfs/AdobeMacromediaFAQ.pdf At this point there is no specific information as to what this means to any Macromedia products, but I think Mike Chambers' blog is a great source for some very basic comments in that regard. Because the acquisition will not complete until Q4 of this year, in the mean time it's business as usual. Not to start any additional speculation, but personally I'd be extremely, extremely surprised if Adobe kills CF. There are way too many opportunities with this combined product line and Adobe has more or less nothing on the server side of the equation. On the contrary, I think this could be great for CF--a bigger company means more clout and deeper reach than Macromedia could get. I'm staying optimistic for the time being because in my estimation there far more reasons for Adobe to keep CF than there are for them to kill it, unless they just make the blanket (and rather foolish) decision to say "We don't do server products." Between the desktop apps and the server products they could dish up some serious competition to Microsoft in my opinion. Anyway, that's my two cents at this point. I'll send out another email tomorrow covering the meeting location situation, but I can tell you that for the May meeting we'll be meeting at the AidMatrix office, which is in the i2 building at 635 and Luna. More details to follow. I'm still looking for speakers for May (I have one so far), so even if you have a short presentation or just want to get up and talk about something cool you've been doing with CF 7, let me know!
