DIGG IT! On May 1 I passed my 2 year mark at Adobe and I took some time off to think very deeply about what I wanted to focus on moving forward. The thing is that I am very passionate about helping developers succeed and have found myself selecting projects related to training (Yahoo & Google) and events (Adobe MAX, Adobe Engage, 360Flex, Etc). Effective this week I will be migrating from Technical Evangelist to focus on scaling Adobe's events and training in the Platform Business Unit. The change is a great opportunity for me personally and I really believe that we can grow the developer ecosystem/market dramatically with some key changes to our event and training strategy.
The thing is that I will never stop evangelizing; I was passionate before I joined Adobe and I remain so as I change roles within. I will keep on blogging too and with all this "Thermo" and Flex 4 stuff coming I have an endless supply of material to cover.
Now go register for MAX 2008!
More to come!
Ted :)
Makes sense..

Congrats Ted. I look forward to seeing what someone with you passion will conjure up for Adobe in this role. When you're thinking about international events or training, don't forget about us in Australia though! I went to the AIR Camp in Brisbane last week and it was fantastic. Big thanks go out to Mark, Matt, Andrew and the local guys Barry and Michael for providing a great day about AIR and Flex. It was a good crowd and the day was brilliant. So more stuff like that would be appreciated ;)
Glad to here that you will keep blogging for Flex.
I am also glad that YOU will work on the community side.
Again congratulations and good luck with your new role.(inside and outside of Adobe) :)
rustyaxe, We really need to make sure all areas of the globe are covered and enable all areas to help themselves. I really want to see us invest in the infrastructure to support user generated content and allow everyone to get credit for their contribution.
Think 20X not 20% better.
Ted :)
Congrats, and thanks for all your past blogging. One of the best blogs out here!
Now head over to Finland. The whole country has just run out of AS3 developers;)
Congratulations Ted, I have to say it was great hooking up in Dublin and with your new position I hope we can work together to put more of these things on ;)
