This week, Ryan and myself talk with Appcelerator‘s Nolan Wright and Matt Quinlan.

I’ll type up more detail notes later, but here’s the summary.

We talk about Appcelerator’s offering, drilling down into the middleware, or “glass bus” like functionality it provides. Being open source – and GPLv3 at that! – I ask Nolan and Matt why this matters both for their internal development and for their users.

We then jump into some news talk:

  • MIX ’08 rumors about Silverlight 2.0 and Silverlight on the desktop.
  • SXSWi coming up – while I say it’ll mostly be the round-corner cool kids, there’ll be plenty of RIA stuff sprinkled through-out.
  • Adobe Engage 2008 – both Ryan and I were there so we give a little sum-up.
  • Chumby’s are now available to the public.
  • DRM in Flash
  • …and more
