Supporting our community has long been an utterly critical part of what I and my team do. My own involvement with the community goes back to the mid-90s (before I joined Allaire), and between MAX and usergroups and community events and more, I personally remain very connected to the community. Indeed, having a dedicated team to focus on, and support, our most loyal and passionate users is a source of much pride for me. But, it's no secret that for the past few years we've not been staffed to provide appropriate local support for communities in Europe (and indeed, all of EMEA). And so I'm really pleased that Christie Fidura has joined our community team as our new UK based EMEA Community Manager. Christie has been with Adobe since 2009, and her prior role did afford her the opportunity for some community involvement, but now community is her full-time job. She has posted a hello message on the community blog, feel free to go by to say hi and welcome her to her new role.

Adobe Creative Cloud, first introduced by Kevin Lynch during the MAX 2011 opening keynote, is now live, and waiting for you to subscribe.

Fellow Adobe evangelist has posted a series of YouTube videos to answer questions pertaining to Adobe Creative Cloud membership.

Ok, so I am NOT a creative pro (shocking, I know). But still, fun to hear how After Effects and Premier helped bring Oscar winning Hugo to life.

Registration is required.

The newest Adobe evangelist is Andy Trice who made the announcement on his blog today. Welcome aboard Andy, great to have you on the team!

The Adobe evangelism and community teams love telling the world about our products, but it sometimes feels like we spend more time talking to our best and most loyal friends than we do the bigger developer and designer universe. And so we're launching a program to get the word out to other communities, including those focused on Java, PHP, and Android. And I'm really excited that our own Liz Frederick has agreed to head up this program, as she announced on the Community Kitchen today.

Yep, you read the title correctly. I just hosted a Connect session at 39,000 from somewhere over Wyoming using Delta in-flight Wi-Fi. Chat, screen share, video share, even multiple presenter video feeds, and it worked really well. (I did not use voice out of consideration to my fellow passengers). Pretty impressive! Tweet 1, 2, 3.

Then take part, and your translation will be available as a closed-captioning track on the video, and will also appears as a searchable, interactive transcript alongside the video.
