I had Twittered how irrelevant this stuff is in the media industry. Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President in the Developer division at Microsoft, was talking about some of the Ad features in Visual Studio. The first was Ari Paparo from DoubleClick. The were a couple things that I found interesting about the keynote. Do they mesh? If not, is that a big deal? Is there even an identifiable community? How does it compare to other technology communities that I’m familiar with? What are the pain points, and what are the great matches?Īll of these questions I was continually asking myself quietly as I listened to speakers, both official and informal. The other half comes from identifying the community around the technology, and seeing if the 2 have a future together. Identifying a technology’s validity are based halfway on the technology’s merits.

That, and I like meeting new people, especially people outside of the Adobe sphere who do software for a living. My interest was solely to identify what their background was, why they were at MIX, and what they hoped to get out of it. My CTO and I made a decent attempt to talk to a variety of conference goers, not just Adobe & Microsoft employee’s. It definitely was a fun multimedia event with code. The conference, however, felt a lot like MAX. This was smashed when I visited the HQ in Janurary and met Bill Gates in person, but apparently that experience wasn’t enough. I had this expectation of Microsoft being stodgy, formal, and just overall “proper like”.

Registration was simple, our hotel accommodations were great, and the facilities and layout were a lot more informal that I originally expected. You could spot the geeks everywhere, and they seemed to outnumber the suits. The MIX conference had about 1000 less attendees than MAX 2k6 (2000+), but was no less grand. I’d been to the Venetian Hotel in Vegas before for Macromedia’s / Adobe’s MAX 2006. That was the fundamental question to answer, or have answered, at MIX.

Some are simple while others are full blown multimedia applications. We currently create a lot of custom Flash video players that interface with our back-end video CMS system.

We also do way more Windows Media business, especially in the fun Live events arena. We headed to Las Vegas, where the conference was held, with the sole goal of evaluating Silverlight for use in our self-service video platform, one of our company’s main products I work on.Īlthough a lot our focus nowadays is on Flash video, we have a significant amount of money and technology invested in Windows Media. After discussing this years conferences as well as the technology involved with my CTO, he decided we should go together.
I was invited to attend the Microsoft MIX 2008 conference.
