I am heading into London this afternoon to take part in a panel on open source at Adobe Live UK. The evening kicks off at 6.30pm with registration at the Business Design Center and the panel itself is at 7pm and is scheduled to run for a little over an hour.

Here's the full panel description from the site:

Open source development tools/platforms/environments will increasingly shape future generations of rich applications on the desktop and on the web. Will any single environment dominate the next generation of applications? How can proprietary tools survive in an increasingly open world? Will there be a clear winner? Which technologies will win is still to be decided, but one thing is clear, the future is wide open.

The other panelists are -- oh, I just realized they misspelled my name on the site, lovely! -- Danny Dura (Adobe), David McAllister (Adobe), Bola Rotibi (Ovum), Carlos Ulloa (Papervision 3D), and John Davey (Flash on the Beach).

Apparently, the developer evening is sold out. Looking forward to seeing some of you in London this evening.

• Hey Rob, glad you and Tom made it. It was supposed to be sold out (500 people or so) but, as you saw, there were only about 50 or so people who actually turned out.

• Aral, It was great listening to you talk about the pain and joys of Open Source at the Adobe Future is Open Developer's Meet in London and the lively discussion. Enjoyed the part about the corporate side and the community side of open source - It would be great to have you and Carlos in India one of these days on an Open Source in Media Technologies tour www.groups.google.com/group/osbharat Nagarjuna - 079040 13818
