I noticed that DevCon... err, sorry, MAX, has added a new feature, the MAX Awards. These awards will "highlight innovative, results-driven experiences built with Macromedia technology." This is a pretty cool idea, but the categories seem to be missing one important aspect - community. As far as I can see, there is no category that specifically recognizes web sites (or other net resources) that specifically target/aid/etc. the Macromedia customer. A good example of what I would consider a nonimee is the House Of Fusion mailing listservs. I'd probably also consider CFLib, but I am a bit biased towards it. ;)
Anyway, that aside, I'm very curious to see who the winners are this year, and hopefully these awards will continue (and expand) over the years. One more note... is it just me or does the name MAX seem very "early-Net"-ish. It reminds me of that habit some folks had of spelling everything in lowercase. Oh well, I'm a coder and known next to nothing about marketing.

Or Fullasagoog (http://www.fullasagoog.com/) for that matter! What about community "non-commercial" application? Like your blog code or FarCry CMS?? Just looks like MM are fishing for case studies and nothing more.
Don't get your hopes up guys. I can't imagine they would choose a bunch of CF solutions over even a lack-luster Flash solution.
I love MM and I love Flash... but it is a little disheartening to see CF taking a major backseat to Flash when show-and-tell time comes around.
Remember the Allaire days? When CF was the one, the only, the center of the universe.
One more comment. Then I'll shut up.
Any bets on what they'll rename the conference next year?
