Hi everyone

As promised, we will be switching between Johannesburg and Centurion for our User Group meetings every other month. Virtuosa has been kind enough to allow us to use their offices for the next meeting on October 6th.

Firstly, the User Group management would like to thank Virtuosa for their hospitality as this will make it possible for our JHB-based members to attend the meeting without braving the crazy N1 traffic. As for the Centurion/Pretoria members, you've had your cake and eaten it for so long now :)

Hi everyone

Danny here from the Pretoria Adobe User Group. As you may have noticed, we have not scheduled a User Group meeting this month. The reason behind this is that Adobe released two new applications last Monday (Adobe Flash Builder 4 and Adobe Flash Catalyst - available on Adobe Labs as free downloads for now) and our meeting was going to be held on Tuesday. We decided to hold off on the User Group meeting this month so that Dinesh and myself can prepare a couple of cool demos for you guys for the July meeting.
