Update: right after I posted this I got some good news that I hope will make this tour a reality. Stay tuned!

As I’m sure you’ve already read, one of my goals is to make an effort to reach out to the Latin American Flash community much more than we have in the past. As part of this effort I am trying to arrange a user group tour after MAX where we can essentially present a lot of the same things we are showing in LA. Now before you folks in Latin America get too excited, this is just a proposal. That means that this is just an idea and may not ever turn into a real tour.

As I mentioned before the only obstacle for things like this is budget. So my plan is to get some companies to sponsor the tour. I have already reached out to several that I know and am waiting to hear back. But if you are a company who wants to get themselves in front of thousands of amazingly talented developers in Latin America send me an email at brimelow [at] adobe [dot] com and let’s talk. This is chance to get yourself in front of a huge number of folks that you don’t normally see on the traditional Flash conference circuit.

The plan is still in its early phases but I am shooting for either mid-November or early January. As for locations, I have already gotten a great response from Costa Rica and Colombia so they will definitely be on the list. For you user group managers in other parts of Latin America, email me if you would like to be considered. This won’t be like a traditional Adobe tour where there are free pens and a support staff to help you. This is more of a guerilla user group tour. You will need to provide an appropriate venue and anything else you want to add. Afterwards we can all go out for cervezas but they won’t be provided by Adobe .

So I hope to hear from companies who want to show some love to the Latin American Flash community. I’m confident that somehow we can make this happen.
