OEM agreement between Alfresco and Adobe
Alfresco published a press-release announcing their OEM agreement with Adobe. Adobe will embed Alfresco's ECM software in its own LifeCycle Enterprise Suite.
Adobe joins Linux foundation
The Linux Foundation announced that Adobe joined it to "collaborate on the advancement of Linux as a leading platform for rich Internet applications (RIA) and Web 2.0 technologies". Let's not forget however that Adobe Flash and Air are both proprietary products, with Air only available as an Alpha version for Linux.
Adobe Share powered by Alfresco
Adobe Share is powered by Alfresco. This is a beta service for now letting you share and convert documents. Those deployments based on Free and Open Source Software are rarely advertised as such, and certainly worth mentioning.
Adobe launches new open source website
Available at http://opensource.adobe.com, the website is "designed to keep you up to date on Adobe open source activities". You'll also find their contribution such as BlazeDS, their server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology, the Flash Ajax video component, a section on Tamarin, the mozilla project based on Adobe code to implement the upcoming version of the ECMAScript 4th Edition language specification.
This is a small step, hopefully followed by numerous others.
