I caught Simon Horwith folding T-shirts at the Adobe Developer Support Lab, hmm… helping out in something for which Adobe staff gets paid he was doing it for fun. He says “This is what I do to support the community!” (Note: You can get an Adobe t-shirt if you fill the survey at the booth)

I also caught up with Dean Harmon and Jason Delmore from the ColdFusion team nearby, they had just registered - late comers! … i guess waking up on a Sunday morning takes some effort even if it is MAX!

This is how Day 0 is coming out to be… I’m sitting right now in the “Building Livecycle Applications” - Pre-Event session taken by Bob Bailey from Adobe. These “Pre-Event Sessions” are essentially full-day hands-on tutorial classes, which are very cool to learn the new technologies/products from Adobe. Here is the pic:

I wanted to check out what the place for MAX looked the day before the conference, and took a lot of snaps. Lot of teams were hard at work!
