This Friday, August 14, I’ll be speaking at the CFUnited conference in Virginia. My session is titled Riding Coattails to the Top: Using Open Source Flex and ActionScript Projects (yeah, I know my session titles are getting too verbose) and will be all about using the thousands of open-source Flex projects that are out there in the community. I’ll be covering projects like Axiis, Adobe’s Open Source Media Framework, computer vision libraries, and a host of other cool projects that you should know about.
I’m preparing a handful of demo applications that I’ll be showing off as examples of integrating some of the coolest open-source work out there. The goal of each example is to show how to integrate at least two open source projects together to create a sweet application. The screenshots below are from a few of the apps that I’ve been working on, just to give a little taste. If you’re going to be attending CFUnited be sure to stop by my session on Friday at 1:30.
If you’re going to be at CFUnited be sure to flag me down and say hi or find me at the bar on Friday night!
Looking forward to having a little RIAdventure pre-party. You’re getting in before Friday though, right? I assume you’ll be at the bar every night?

Doug,
Feel free to use my Smith Chart example for Axiis if you want to.

@Ryan – we’ll have to find sombreros and drink margaritas to prepare for the cruise. I’m arriving Thursday morning (redeye), but since I’m speaking on Friday I don’t plan on going hardcore that night, I’ve learned my lesson about partying hard the night before conference presentations. So I may grab a drink or two on Thursday night as well, but that all depends on how much last minute tweaking my presentation needs.
