I know this has already been blogged, but I just want to mention that this year's Macromedia MAX confernece has an Open Call For Speakers. This differs from past conferences in which only persons affiliated with Macromedia could present. This open call should bring in a lot of new ideas for topics outside of Macromedia's "official" sphere of influence ;-)
