If you're reading this and you or your company has a suitable place available or want to discuss possible sponsoring -- feel free to get in touch! As Koen already mentioned, we're open for all suggestions. If you want to kick start an event in your region let us know and we might be able to help and involve the user group.

From my side, i will continue to convince people around me to participate more in the AUG, but like already written, some events are far from Brussels so it's not always easy to attend them - i could easily understand that a castle is more attractive than a normal meeting room :-) ! See you soon then, Regards Hey Peter,

Like Romain, I think it's always far from the center. (I mean brussel). By the way I almost finish reading your book, OOP AS3. Very interesting and perfect to switch from AS2 to AS3. Regards, S.

I really would like to be implied into flash/flex 's belgian community and I'll try to be more in the future. I personally know <a href="http://weblog.shaoken.be/" title="Stephane Bebrone" rel="nofollow">Stephane Bebrone</a> and he's a great colleague and friend. I should have a chat with him :) Regards Hello Peter,
