Spoon Project
With limited resources at Adobe, and closed source engineering, it has been difficult for the Flex community to actively participate in the development process. Spoon is a community driven foundation created to improve this process. The term "Spoon" is intended to denote a more gentle alternative to a fork of the SDK.
I was initially contacted to help with the branding and was later invited to be a member of the board.
Update: Adobe is investigating the benfits of submitting the Flex SDK to Apache. It is still unclear as to how it might affect Spoon.
