[Webpub] Flash Mobile day at Harvard

[Lisa C. Mayer]

Our friends down the road are hosting a Flash Mobile Day this week  
(Thursday, January 29) and they've invited WebPub members to attend.

Scott Janousek (Boston-based) will be on-hand to discuss Flash Lite 3  
and how the new Adobe eLearning Suite can be incorporated into a Flash  
Mobile workflow. Additionally, they will be viewing 2 Flash Mobile  
eSeminars (Nokia from 10-11 AM, and GetJar from 12-1), with Scott  
speaking before and after the GetJar session.

A venue is booked for 9:30 – 1:30 that day and it holds 40 people.  
They'd like to get as many Boston-area Flash Mobile developers into  
the room, to promote Flash development at Harvard by viewing/listening  
to these sessions and speaking with Boston-area Flash mobile developers.

In addition to Scott Janousek in attendance, they are hoping to have  
Alessandro Pace (Boston Adobe Mobile and Device User Group) and some  
of their members, in addition to Rob Toole (Fidelity), who are all  
quite active in the Flash mobile space; they are also inquiring if  
there is interest within other usergroups at Harvard.  In essence,  
there are 2 real events: the Nokia eSeminar from 10-11, and then Scott  
Janousek discussing Flash Lite (wrapped around the 12-1 GetJar  
eSeminar).  Scott is the key guest speaker, and will be the Flash  
mobile expert on-site.


Tentative Schedule (people can come to as much or little as desired):
9:45 – 10:00 Introduction(s)

10:00 – 11:00 eSeminar: S60 Platform Services – Reaching Further with  
Flash on Nokia Devices (technical session)
             From Forum Nokia: This webinar will look at the new S60  
5th Edition Platform Services and how Flash developers can make use of  
them. Nokia will give an overview of the opportunities on offer and  
the techniques used to access location, sensor, calendar, contacts,  
and other functionality in your Flash and web applications. Join us to  
learn about some practical examples of how you can use S60 Platform  
Services to extend what Flash Lite can do on Nokia platforms.
