The Names They are A-Changing

If you frequent the (former) Macromedia News Groups, you're going to start seeing a new designation in the volunteers' signatures.

Effective February 27, the Team Macromedia (TMM) designation has been replaced with Adobe Community Expert (ACE). This was not some arbitrary decision on Adobe's part either; TMM members were polled and the popular opinion leaned to this new identifier. We even got a cool new logo. I like the name (although I'm a bit too modest to be completely comfy with the abbreviation)

I think the new name is a good sign of what Adobe thinks of its customers and the developer/designer community. One thing Macromedia always did well was engage its users. It looks to me that Adobe is going to maintain this sense of community and corporate outreach. I think it puts a friendlier face on a very large company.

As Martha would say, "It's a good thing."
