So I've been settling down (ie. working constantly) nicely since arriving in Austin TX 2 months ago. The wife and I love the city so far, and only regret we haven't gotten out to see more of it. I've had the pleasure of talking to a few companies in town who are doing Flex development, and it's nice to still be part of a little slice of IT heaven after leaving the Bay Area (read Round Rock/Dell/IBM/etc...).

However, I made the mistake of kicking up some dust with the Adobe User Group folks a bit too soon after arriving. One of the top things on my list to do when getting here is to start up a Flex user group for the area. However, I have yet to find the time to actually do this... :-(

So here's the reason for the post... Anybody in the Austin area (that includes Dallas/San Antonio/Houston cause if the CA folks can drive an hour from SF to SJ, the Texas folks can drive 2) that would be interested in attending meetings?

So if you're from Texas, or know someone who is, forward/re-post/shout it out to me, so that I get my ass in gear... I'm not looking for justification (I'll do it eventually) just encouragement to move it up the priority list :-)

I live in Round Rock and work in Dallas so I might be able to attend if the timing works out.

That's a bit of a commute...

Count me in! I work at a state agency in the network applications division. We're a big CF shop, have just upgraded to CF8, and are starting to do some Intranet apps in Flex/Flash/ColdFusion Flash Remoting. There's about 5-6 other developers who work with me who would probably be interested, also.

I'd be interested in helping you with the group. Give me a shout.

Regards,
Randy

I'm in. Live in South Austin and work at LifeSize Communications building embedded web apps for their systems in Flash and am looking for some encouragement to move to Flex.

I'm in San Antonio, and have (so far) found 'Flex' to be a 4 letter word here. As a new convert to Flex, I'd be thrilled to attend, especially on a weekend. Week nights might be a bit tough -- I get totally nauseous thinking about an I-35 commute after a 10+ hour work day.

I would definately be interested in attending
Although I'm still a newbie with Flex.

I've been in Austin for about 7 months now and my company has decided to invest heavily in Flex. I'd definitely participate.

Did u ever get to start the group? If yes, let me know, I'd be interested in joining.
# Posted By BRamani | 1/7/08 8:34 AM
Yes, things are moving along slowly for the group... getting going after holidays now, and i'd like to have first meeting scheduled for end of Jan, beginning of Feb.

I'll add you to the list... thanks for the interest!
# Posted By Brendan Meutzner | 1/7/08 10:37 AM

# Posted By Rob Jones | 1/29/08 9:37 AM
I'm intereted in this group also. Live near 360 and 2222
# Posted By Jeff Schuenke | 1/30/08 3:49 PM
I'd be interested as well. I'm getting ready to start a new enterprise software project in flex.
# Posted By Giovanni Farris | 2/7/08 6:04 AM
I am in San Antonio but would definately be interested. No such group here as far as I can tell.
# Posted By Jeff | 2/24/08 2:22 PM
I would attend a FUG in Austin. When is the first meeting?
# Posted By Tony | 2/25/08 1:09 PM
I noticed several posts from San Antonio. We, two San Antonio programmers, are interesred in getting in touch with other developers interested in learning Flex.
We are relatively new to the Flex/Coldfusion environment, but have a number of years of experience developing win32 apps.
San Antonio has a Coldfusion user group that touches on Flex, but the real focus remains on CF. (http://alamocfug.com/)
Please contact either Scott (strapp at chcsbc dot org) or Eddie (emcdaniel at chcsbc dot org)
