Even Penguins can get a breath of fresh AIR.
It's often been said that the open source community has the ability to innovate and can respond quicker than any other community.
And the Rich Internet Application space is ready for both. Adobe® AIR™ lets developers use their existing web development skills in HTML, AJAX, Flash and Flex to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop.
Over on one of my counterparts (James Ward) blogs, is an invitation to apply for an opportunity to test AIR on Linux.
You know, this isn't for the faint of heart. It's in the wild and wooley world of lots of builds, lots of things that might not work. But I can't think of any group that could make it possible for AIR to make it onto Linux.
So, hop over to the home of Adobe's RIA Cowboy and give us a hand.

Tons of people are excited to see this (1) happening and (2) promising beyond current belief.
