Sneaks links

Sneaks links: Jen deHaan ("The Hardest Typing Fingers in Show Business") has notes from the Sneak Peeks session at MAX the other day. More from Peter deHaan, Fuad Kamal, Sean Corfield, "wow technology media", Martin LaMonica, plus a bunch more I haven't read yet. Many new projects were announced, and in the extended entry I'll try to link in links to bloggers on each Adobe team. If you know of other staff blogs from stakeholders please add in comments and I'll integrate into the main display, thanks.

nb: I didn't attend that session myself.

Last update: Noon Pacific, Fri Oct 5. (Thanks to commenters here for the word!)

Visual Communicator: I'm not sure if this was actually a sneak peek. Karl Miller and Karl Soule came from Serious Magic and did the presentation. Not sure if anyone on the team uses weblogs yet.

Pacifica: High-quality VoIP functionality in Player. Dom Sagallo has a blog, although Pacifica has been fairly quiet until MAX. I have a memory of another team member with a blog and will need to check this later.

Flash Home: Whitelabel homepage experience for mobile. Bill Perry usually has the mobile story... I think Mike Sundermeyer may have written on the experience-design blog.

Photoshop Express: I don't know of any public-facing weblog from this group.

Fireworks with Flex and AIR: Alan Musselman, Trevor McCauley.

ColdFusion and AIR: Hemant Khandelwal seems to be the leader on that team, and seems to comment on weblogs, but I'm not sure where to go for info on this effort.

InDesign and Flex: I don't know whether Roey Horns or Will Eisley have weblogs.

Flash authoring: Richard Galvan is Product Manager. (I think some other team members have public weblogs, but I can't think of them offhand.)

SWF in PDF: Not sure.

FlexBuilder on Linux: Not quite a sneak... available on Labs. Not sure who the team's public lead is.

Flash, C++: Can't find one.

Content-Aware Image Resizing: Shai Avidan is the lead on the project, but I think John Nack has the public voice.


Other announcements:

Thermo doesn't seem to have been in the Sneaks session, but Mark Anders has the posts, and keep an eye on Narciso Jaramillo too. More on Labs wiki.

Share: Team blog, Andrew Shebanow.

CoCoMo: Nigel Pegg (new blog ;-).

Adobe Media Player: Deeje Cooley.

Buzzword: Dave Coletta, Tad Staley.

Astro (Player 10): Emmy Huang, Justin Everett-Church, wiki.

I know my list here is incomplete... got additions? tx.

Hey JD.
Hanging out for some notes on the C++, Flash stuff.
I understand Scott Peterson did the demo at MAX.
Is Scott an Adobe employee? If so is there anyway of getting him to post some details?

[jd sez: Thanks, Zeh. I'm looking for ongoing reports from project stakeholders, though, rather than one-time third-hand reports.]

thanks for the links!

Thanks for a great round up of links. Here's some additions.

Tad Staley from Virtual Ubiquity runs another blog on Buzzword which can be found here:
http://blog.virtub.com/

Thermo also has it's own Wiki page up on Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Thermo

Also not sure if this is what you are looking for but on Lee Brimelow's blog, he interviews Justin Everett-Church on Flash Player 10:
http://theflashblog.com/?p=287
While a lot of the interview overlaps what was said in the MAX keynote, the interview does manage to clear things up such as if the 3D is hardware accelerated or software based.

A small correction on your posting, the link for Andrew Shebanow's blog is currently linking to Dave Coletta's blog. It should be going to: http://shebanation.com/

Also almost going unnoticed with all the buzz about with Thermo is the Flex Skin Design Extensions up on Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flex_sdext.html
I only found out about them because of the Flex Doc Team blog, but I haven't seen them mentioned anywhere else:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/
Until Thermo is released I think these extensions will be great in bridging Flex and the CS3 products.
