I was lucky enough to give the opening session welcome this morning at MAX Milan.  We have a great crowd of over 1300 developers and designers from all over Europe and beyond (45 countries I’m told) – I even ran into someone from Dubai today.  The sessions are going well, and we’ve had good blog coverage of the event so far.  We have a big group of press at the event – over 70 journalists and bloggers are here.  The guys from Dutch Cowboys are taking video interviews, we have several folks live blogging and twitter has two streams going – #maxmilan and #maxeurope.  The Adobe community across Europe has grown dramatically in the past year, in part from the onAIR tour we did last summer, and in part because of the great evangelism team we have here now.

Next up is the Open Source BOF, and then I’m getting peaks at the MAX Award winners for the announcement tomorrow .
