This year there are no official parties at the conference. It's rather mingling at the hall of the Brighton Dome for a few hours and then people spread out all over the town.

Adobe AIR 2.7 available

Jens C Brynildsen — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 08:17:00 +0100

Things are really happening with AIR these days and Adobe are iterating fast. Very fast. Just months after the release of AIR 2.6 comes a new version that is so much faster that it could almost warrant a non-dot release.
