Cairngorm News! — New Home Page, Bugbase, Support Lists, Governance Model, & Future Direction!
August 6, 2008 by g.
Today Cairngorm opened the doors on it’s new home on the web to the open source public!
Cairngorm’s home is now at:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cairngorm/
Great new support features for the Cairngorm community include:
- Bugbase
- Support Lists
- Governance Model
For overviews, see the following posts by:

Also, if you have not already seen this, check out the following subset of the formal Cairngorm training materials that Adobe recently published:

Note: If you are interested in the full Cairngorm training delivered by an experienced architect and lead developer using Cairngorm, please contact info[at]halcyonsolutions.net
The title of Steven’s post above includes "Adobe Consulting Led but Community Driven". By my reckoning Cairngorm is now arguably the oldest of the many amazing open source projects spawned by the collective organization that is now Adobe.
I have a huge debt of gratitude to the individuals that have both given birth to Cairngorm and evolved it so far.
I love Adobe’s commitment to open source. Especially since Adobe’s announcement last year about their open sourcing the Flex framework, Adobe now:
- integrates open source into their commercial (and open source) products
- contributes actively to multiple open source projects
- is the incubator for open source projects as well
In the long term, Adobe’s commitment to open source ensures that we all win! 
Thank you Adobe! And specific to today’s announcements about Cairngorm, thank you to great team now at Adobe Consulting that have made Cairngorm happen from the start, and who promise to help us keep it happening in the future.
In closing, no post about Cairngorm would be complete without a plug for the following now longstanding community resource that continues to support learning about using Cairngorm:
