Futsal is an indoor version of Soccer, and the game is hugely popular in Japan, where many companies have employee teams. Adobe Japan created the Adobe MAX Cup 2007 Futsal Tournament (with the final game set to coincide with MAX 2007 Japan later this week), and teams from Adobe, Intel, Microsoft, SAP, Yahoo!, as well as several Japanese companies, are all taking part. And it's not all about fun and games - the tournament is supported by a variety of sites and applications, and the Adobe Japan team used the opportunity to leverage Premier Pro, AIR, AMP, Flash, Flex, Flash Media Server, and of course ColdFusion (which powers the official Adobe MAX Cup 2007 Futsal Tournament site).

As previously announced, I'll be in Australia next month for CFCAMP events in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth. The events are going to be partial formal presentation, partial free form bar camp, and should be lots of fun. Registration for these events is now open.
