Adobe learns lessons of open-source Flex
,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile, there's also a lack of vendor ecosystem around Flex. Admittedly,
| it's relatively early days for open-source Flex. But Chotin seemed to think
| that a vendor-based community would be better at submitting feature ideas and
| specifications on a formal basis. Once other companies have a stake in the
| roadmap, then they'd be more willing to stump up resources such as staff and
| code to see the changes through to completion.
|
| This has happened in other communities. In the IBM-initiated and backed
| Eclipse, for example, vendors in specific markets and product areas have lead
| projects they feel close to or suit their strategy.

Brilliant. All the pieces fall into place. 64-bit Flash is here too (but not
for Windows).

64-Bit Linux Adobe Flash Player: Surprisingly good
,----[ Quote ]
| What's just as surprising is that this new alpha release of Adobe Flash
| Player 10 64-bit for Linux is both fast and stable. You just don't expect
| that from alpha software. Usually, alpha programs run just long enough for
| you to say "Yeah, I see what they're getting at," which is then followed by,
| on Windows, a system crash or on Linux or Mac OS X, an application crash.

Flash Player 10 Is Live
,----[ Quote ]

| download. Hopefully, it will soon be available from your favorite automated
| update repository since such package management should resolve the new
| dependencies needed for Flash Player 10.

Adobe Flash 10 on Linux: Looking Good
,----[ Quote ]
| Adobe Flash Player 10 for Linux may only be a beta, but it’s one heck of a
| beta.
|
| I didn’t care for Adobe Flash video at first. It was just another proprietary
| audio/video format in a world already over-flowing with them.
|
| Three things have happened to change my mind.

Flash Uses The GPU
,----[ Quote ]
| A much clamored-for feature (right after native 64-bit, wmode/transparency,
| and V4L2) is Flash GPU (graphical processing unit) acceleration, sometimes
| founded in a belief that it's a magic solution for making things fast without
| any side effects or ill consequences. I just wanted to make it known that the
| Adobe Flash Player is GPU accelerated,

Flash Player 10: Dazzling Effects, Better Performance, Runs on Linux

| Once piece of welcome news is that Adobe is releasing the Flash Player 10
| beta for all major platforms — Windows, Mac and Linux. Adobe has even upped
| the Linux ante with a new installer specially tailored for Ubuntu users.
| Barclay says that Adobe considers Linux a major platform and will continue to

Free Flash community reacts to Adobe Open Screen Project
,----[ Quote ]
| Both Otte and Savoye do see some limited good coming out of the Open Screen
| Project. Otte suggests that the growing openness of Adobe might help to
| reduce the reservations in the free software community about working to
| reproduce proprietary technologies, as well as "the general 'flash is evil'
| attitude" that prevails in the community."
|
| Moreover, both Otte and Savoye see the announcement as a hopeful sign. "I
| think Adobe will open up Flash in the end, or at least the Flash player,"
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Otte says.
|
| Savoye expresses the same hope, although he notes that, "I've been told by
| people at Adobe that their Flash player has so many other people's
| intellectual property in it that they can never free up the code." However,
| he adds that examples like Sun's removal of propriety elements from the
| original StarOffice code to produce OpenOffice.org and its current efforts
| with Java indicate that the move is not impossible. "The trick is, are they
| going to make that kind of commitment?" he asks.

Adobe Joins Linux Foundation But Forgets About Flash for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I would hope that Zemlin will encourage Adobe to now treat Linux as a first
| class citizen as opposed to an afterthought for release after Windows.
|
| I hope Zemlin will pressure Adobe to finally actually make Flash -- not just
| the player -- but Flash CS3 Professional, (the core Flash development tool)
| available for Linux as a fully commercially available and supported product.
| It is somewhat ironic in my opinion that Adobe can join the Linux Foundation,
| claim to support Linux and yet not offer its flagship Flash development tool
| on Linux.
