I went along to the first Melbourne Flex User Group meeting tonight, OzFlex. I must say it was exciting to see the enthusiasm of some of the local developers in building a community that focuses on RIA. The presentation by Matt Johnston walked through a simple AIR application highlighting the native menus and the file system API. If you’re working with Flex and interested in presenting, get in touch with Matt.

Thanks to everyone that came along to the SAGE-AU Victoria Spam Open Forum. Again, it was a very interesting to learn how others are combating the spam problem, as well as listening to the new approaches system administrators are using at the ISP level. I’d like to hold another forum in 6 months or so to see how much the landscape has changed.
