Studio 8 Announced Aug 08. 052
Macromedia have gone public on ‘“Studio 8”:http://www.macromedia.com/software/studio/’. The final installment perhaps before we see a combined effort from the Macromedia and Adobe software development teams.

Team Macromedia (Fireworks) Sep 15. 040
Last month I was invited to become a member of the Team Macromedia programme for Fireworks.
Team Macromedia is a community based programme made up of Macromedia customers such as myself, who share their product expertise with the world-wide Macromedia community.
Our mission as Team Macromedia members is to provide high caliber peer-to-peer communication educating and improving the product skills of Macromedia customers worldwide.
I hope to contribute to Team Macromedia by continuing to foster interest amongst the community in the Extensibility of Macromedia Fireworks, and also in the continued development and ‘sharing’ of non-commercial Fireworks Extensions.
Check out my bio on the Team Macromedia pages and keep an eye out for me on the Fireworks forums.
