ZDNet’s Ryan Stewart interviews Mike Melanson, Flash Player Engineer leading the Linux port

August 30th, 2006 by mike downey Leave a reply »

Ryan Stewart has posted an interview on blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart with Mike Melanson, the lead engineer for the Linux version of the Flash Player, expected to be released in early 2007. In the interview, Ryan asks Mike about the feedback he gets on his popular blog, Penguin.SWF, picking APIs, and supporting the many Linux distros.

I imagine (or rather hope) there is a large base of Linux users patiently following the blog, understanding that this development takes time, and that it’s fortunate that Adobe is treating Linux as a first-class operating system in supporting the Flash platform.

Check out the interview here.

    They’re using Unix I see, because your link doesn’t work. You need to capitalize the “S”…
