RE: Thematic Teleconferences

A few Macromedia people are montioring the WAI lists, and there is a standing
invitation to them (and other developers) to join :)...

Marjolein, I will contact you offline if you like about a couple of contacts
there.

Cheers

Charles

  Jutta,

  We also mentioned Flash as a theme - and indeed just before I had to leave
  the meeting I suggested it would be useful to have someone from MacroMedia
  involved, maybe even have one invited to get involved in the working group.

  Ironically, the "very important meeting" -subject unknown at that time- I
  had to leave our meeting for turned out to be a manager's meeting at Allaire
  announcing a merger with MacroMedia. Just after this meeting the press
  releases were sent out - see the respective web sites.

  Meetings all over the place though nothing is finalized yet - but I've
  already started to try and establish a contact at MacroMedia ;-)

  Cheers,
  Marjolein
