A lot ahead! Let's see what the event it will be indeed. Now we are planning an ARUBAFPUG, which tends to become a super-united meeting of 4 ex-USSR UGs. But this is pretty long perspective. What I'm doing now, is finding an idea for our next UAFPUG (just Ukrainian Adobe Flash Platform User Group) meeting to make it truly interesting for the attendees and for you too. My approach is 'conceptual' meetings, which are built around the strong and teasing center idea. Well, I have some ideas already, and will write you an email about them :) Long live Rock'n'Roll! I'm having a beer for you, man. @Mihai Corlan

So you need to make me a promise that if you ever do this kind of event again (I mean a summer camp or something) you will tell me ahead of time, so I can plan to stay more days with you, maybe the whole week :D A big beer to us, my friend. @Rostislav Siryk

Your arrival was truly beautiful to us as User Gpoup, and I can't thank you enough for coming despite all the Aerosvit company 'unobtrusive' flight service. I'm so sorry for all the weird stuff in the Kiev Airport (and other ones). Actually, we should have met you as soon as you arrived in the Ukraine to help in handling all the local services and their bugs. This is my fault, and now I'm learning this lesson. Thank you about each other mention of the local issue. This will help me (and, I believe, other UGMs too) to handle such events in more reliable way, especially for the first time, like in this case. (A little tip: if someone is going to have an adventure, come to Ukraine, but don't tell the local UGMs about it - because next time they will handle all the troubles described by Mihai, so you adventure will become just a ordinary trip :D ) We've discussed the problems you described with some UG members and decided to contact the Aerosvit company to help them solve some explicit troubles with their 'too friendly' staff. We don't need no more troubles ;-) Well, despite all those problems and especially after them, I couldn't regret to say: YOU ARE THE MAN! Our huge respect comes to you and the power beside you. Your presentation was so on topic, we learned a great tips on Flex/Java and Flex/PHP simultaneous debugging. Also, it is very good you depicted us the brand new and very interesting Switchboard technology, which surely will explode very soon. This is great to learn the technology just after it appeared in Labs, like Switchboard for now. I see how big time is coming. Soon, all the parts of big Adobe Puzzle Game will get together to make a solid picture, and Switchboard is a glue which will help the whole Adobe Platform to become true art object, and effective with no doubt. And thank you a lot about presenting to us the Daniel Dura's AIR example series, where he demonstrates one AIR feature in one example - members were asking so so often about such demos! You were so friendly and cheerful - thank you for coming, for words you said, for great books you brought, for cute stickers too, for tasty cigars, for being so brave, thank you for being a part of Adobe, which should be very proud of people like you working for the company. Thank you Adobe for sending Mihai to us! I'm happy to know that such great teams consist of such great people :) Can't wait to meet you again! Mihai,
