Hello OCDev folks, I wanted to make you all aware of an event that is
happening next Thursday evening at Cal Poly Pomona. The Inland Empire
CFUG is helping to sponsor a debate between Kevin Hoyt from Adobe and
Sam Stokes from Microsoft on the which is the better RIA technology,
AIR/Flex or Silverlight:

In addition to the debate, a copy of CS4 Web Premium edition will be
raffled off (actually two copies, with the second drawing restricted
to instructors from a high school or community college), and free
pizza will be served.

Although this is a free event, visitors *do* have to pay for parking
at the University -- a visitor pass is $5. I have been in contact with
the Cal Poly parking department, and they are willing to add members
of the CFUG to a list of people that will be exempted from the fee,
and receive a permit free of charge.

If anyone from this group is interested in attending, just respond to
this thread and I will add your name to the list as well. I do need to
submit the exemptions by Monday afternoon, so let me know before then
if you think you might be going.

Thanks Oğuz, just let me know if anyone contacts you off-list and you
wish to add their name.

By the way, I should have mentioned that anyone who cannot be present
can watch a live video stream of the debate, or a recording afterwards
-- see the link I posted for further details.
