Inaugural Meeting:

> Introductions: What we are? Why we are? What we intend to cover (what you'd like to see covered)? This will be our first meeting. We'll discuss what works best for all attendees. With all of our busy schedules it will be impossible for us to find a perfect date and time for everyone. But we're open to feedback, and we're looking forward to hearing from you.

[FOOD & BEVERAGE]

SESSIONS:

> MAX: A number of our members recently attended Adobe MAX 2008 in San Francisco.  We'll share what we saw and what we learned with the rest of the group. If you attended MAX this year, please let us know - we'd love to hear what you learned as well.

> What is Flex? We'll briefly explain what Flex is, for those who may be unfamiliar.

[OPTIONAL - if time allows]

We are likely going to postpone this one until the February meeting. And discuss the needs of the community and what you'd like to see.

> Flex Builder: "Tips'n'Tricks", Jason (SVFUG Co-Chair) will review some tips and tricks that can help you be more productive in your coding with Flex Builder.  Expect others to chime in as well...

We had 9 attendees despite the forecasted snowstorm. 

We had some introduction time followed by Jason Epperson presenting some basic examples of "What is Flex". 

Pizza and beverages arrived, and we do apologize for the pizza. We are looking at other providers. ;-)

Open discussion on some of what was seen and announced at Adobe MAX '08.  Discussion on Flash Catalyst.  Played a promotional video by Adobe of Flash Catalyst for those unfamiliar with the product.
