The next BFPUG meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 26, 2006, 7:00 p.m. Location is the same: New England Institute of Art (directions on the side).

This meeting we have Chris Allen speaking about Red5. As many of you may not be particularly aware of this project, here a brief description:

Red5 is a Spring based Java implementation of an RTMP and AMF server for Adobe Flash clients. It offers the ability to stream audio and video, integrate with existing software systems and act as a one stop shop for all Flash server-side needs. Chris will be doing a demo of the server as well as answering many of the deeper questions about the road map the Red5 team has laid out and the underlying technologies used to create Red5.

In other words, it is an open source server that does many - if not all - of the same things that the Flash Media Server (formerly known as the Flash Communication Server) does.

The Flash open source community is a swiftly growing and very exciting movement, which has resulted in many high quality, free and open source tools to use in Flash design and development. To find out more about Open Source Flash, visit http://www.osflash.org/.
