As announced back in November, the on AIR tour is coming to Europe this year - we’ve now posted the details of all the dates and locations for on the tour website.
If you didn’t follow the US tour last year, then essentially in each location we’ll be running a one day conference on Adobe AIR, with technical sessions, showcases and discussions. All the events are free and are open to anyone interested in learning more about AIR - you do need to register in advance though.
Mike Chambers has all the details here, but in summary the dates/locations are as follows:
First leg, March 31st - April 11:
Second leg, June 2nd - June 13th:
I’ll be at the Brussel/London/Dublin and Prague/Munich/Milan events and look forward to seeing you there! Check out the agenda (the events are a full day with something for everyone), register and then spread the news

Today saw Flash Brighton’s Big Day Out take place on the south coast of England and, as the first Flex/AIR camp in the UK, it was great to have a turnout of over 100 people.
Starting just after lunch and running into the early hours of the morning there were presentations from myself, Mike Jones, David Hassoun, John Crosby, Dominic Minns, Aral Balkan and Seb Lee-Delisle, together with good conversation, free beer and pizza. Seb and the crew from the Flash Brighton User Group did a fantastic job at organising the event and with the quick sell-out of (free) tickets I hope the guys will be up for running another event next year.
Along with a mix of technical and creative content, we’d organised a full copy of Flex Builder 2 for all attendees, so hopefully there was something for everyone!
The slides I presented during the keynote are available for download using Adobe Share.
The Flex and AIR applications I referenced during the presentation included:

I announced in the Flash on the Beach keynote this morning that the onAIR tour will be coming to Europe next year. We’re still working to confirm the dates/locations, but we will be visiting 12 cities over 4 weeks in April/May 2008.
We won’t be bringing the bus over to Europe; instead we will be letting the train take the strain as we travel to each of the cities.
Most of the crew from the original onAIR bus tour will be coming over to Europe, and will be joined by the European evangelists and no doubt some special guests too - keep an eye on the onAIR website for further details.

A couple of people have stumbled across the problem of not being able to install AIR applications that were written for beta 1 once they’ve installed beta 2 of the runtime.
Rather than uninstalling beta 1 of AIR before installing beta 2, leave beta 1 installed and beta 2 will be installed alongside the previous version of the runtime. This enables applications written for both beta 1 and beta 2 to be installed and run.
You can download both the beta 1 and beta 2 runtimes from Adobe Labs. If you’ve already installed beta 2 and need to run applications not yet updated for the new runtime, then uninstall beta 2, re-install beta 1 first and then install beta 2.
Check the AIR release notes for further information, especially if you want to run beta 1 and beta 2 side-by-side on Windows (there can be issues due to account security privileges).
