Narciso (nj) Jaramillo
About: I do design and engineering for Adobe Flex Builder and the upcoming Thermo project. Previously, I was the UI lead for Dreamweaver and Contribute, and worked on the Macromedia cross-product UI back in the day. In my spare time I play jazz piano and take way too many pictures of my daughter.
Everyone calls me "nj" because it's just a lot less painful for everyone involved.

Narciso, my design team has been hunting down thermo info/rumors/sightings for some time now. So... as far as wanting to know if you'll be able to demo it at some point this weekend - count me in.
Narciso, I'm excited to learn a bit more about Thermo. Look forward to meeting you.
Actually, I haven't seen any demo, so yes, I would be interested. It sounds promising, but like a lot of us, I'm not holding my breath. Perhaps you can't discuss it, but is Thermo the project that Brad Meyers' group at CMU is collaborating on?
Hey, Narciso, will you be able to demo the current state of Thermo for us?
