Our friend Chris Orwig just sent us a nice big set of pictures he took at the conference so far, and we put them all up on Flickr. Enjoy!

Who took party pictures? Post ‘em up! We have to prove to the world that this party was as great as we thought it would be (temporary beer shortage aside…)

Yesterday we had an excellent presentation from Lawrence Lessig about remixing, copyrights in the age of digital media, creative commons licensing, and how the Free Software community views Flash.

This morning Macromedia’s Mike Chambers posted a Flash library to his blog that lets you add a ‘view source’ item to the normal Flash player popup menu. Now it’s that easy to share your Flash source in the same way Web users are accustomed to finding HTML source.

The Flash community (or at least the Flashforward community) has always been very good about sharing code, but this makes it so easy and obvious there’s no reason not to use it. Thanks Mike!

Day 2 of Flashforward2005 San Francisco, and we’re settling into our groove… I only brought my crappy cell-phone camera so don’t count on me for photojournalism, but do please continue to throw your own pictures up onto Flickr, with the ‘flashforward’ tag, and we’ll document it together! There are already a bunch of pictures up so have a look. (Thanks to bjdawes, toddvstodd, ferrisb, LeeBrimelow etc.)

In fact Kevin Lynch just showed off the ways Flash is used on Flickr during his keynote presentation (currently underway) so basically: Macromedia wants you to post pictures of this event!

There was a wee fire in the attic of the venue this morning, but you can hardly smell the smoke. (!)

Yesterday’s long-form workshops were excellent, but today is when the action really picks up, with hour-long sessions running in as many as six rooms at a time, and the film festival (and party!) still to come this evening. So if you missed yesterday it’s still definitely worthwhile to get over here and join us — we saved you a ticket.

Are you blogging the event? Post up your URL or hit us with a trackback!

And if you’re surreptitiously playing PSP in the audience of the Herbst Theatre, let me know which game so I can beat you at it from backstage… ;-P
