The new Belgian Adobe usergroup : the 360° approach
Feb/101
Last month the Belgian Adobe usergroup “rebooted”. The renewed usergroup came with a new website and a 360° approach towards Adobe’s products. They reorganized and have now 6 different interest groups (SIG) : Video, Photography, Web, Design, Print and RIA(enterprise). Every Adobe product fits inside 1 or more SIGs.
The new website enables their community to define what products they use and what SIGs they want to link to. The new site wants to enable sharing of information and ideas.
The goal is to organize every month one AUG event, linked to 1 or more interest groups. Next one coming up is the “Design SIG” event in Antwerp. Yes, indeed … Antwerp. The rebooted AUG wants to host their events in different cities across Belgium.
At the moment all content is in Dutch (except for the RIA sessions), but I’ve been told they might add other languages in the future …
The event list contains 6 events and topics look really promising. The “Video SIG” event in march looks impressive. Check out the website and get subscribed ! You can follow them on twitter : @augbe
Congrats to the team driving the new AUG !!!
Maybe we’ll see each other at the “Design SIG” event on Feb 25th in Antwerp ?

Most exiting part of this news is the fact that with the next version of the Flash player, we will now provide DRM for Flash player in the browser.
