These presentations are available to members of the groups, so if you're interested in getting links to these recorded Connect sessions, join the relevant user group! Here's some of the more recent topics:

• Jesse Warden presented his Flash Lite 2.x component framework, Shuriken at the Boston MaD group in May. Here is what Jesse has to say about his project: “I’ve just uploaded some examples for Shuriken, a Flash Lite 2.x component framework. The documentation isn’t done, but figured most people would be able to do just fine using the examples. If you’d like to contribute, lemme know your Gmail username. Only rule is whatever you check-in must compile. If you wanna write docs, or something else, that’s cool too. Finally, if you have any suggestions and/or feature requests, we’re all ears.”
  
  Please join the Boston Adobe Mobile and Device User Group to view the eSeminar and be part of the User Group.

Next Meeting - Flyer

At our next meeting, we'll be watching a presentation by Felipe Andrade from i2Technologia, who has developed the new open source Flyer project.

Flyer was built to extend Flash Lite features with Python for S60. Python for S60 is Nokia’s port of the Python language to the S60 smartphone platform. In addition to the standard features of the Python language, PyS60 provides access to many of the phone’s uniquely smartphone-y functions, such as camera, contacts, calendar, audio recording and playing, TCP/IP and Bluetooth communications and simple telephony.

Flyer is based on the Flash Lite 2.1 integration with Python for S60 and contains the following features:

• Take photos with device camera from Flash Lite
• Take device screenshots from Flash Lite
• Send files over a bluetooth connection from Flash Lite
• Get the contact entries in the default device database

This will be a very interesting session for developers who want to extend the base functionality of Flash Lite for deeper applications.

• When: Monday 21st May @ 6.30pm
• Where: i.lab Incubator - Level 1, 80 Jephson Street, Toowong QLD
• RSVP - Email ozmad@moket.com.au by Monday 21st May @ 12pm
• Must RSVP to be eligible for the prize draw, including some great Adobe schwag
