Hello my name is Oluchi Ann, I am a Nigerian and I attended the just concluded Adobe max2021.  I must say it was really inspiring. I am new to creativity and I really don't know where and how to start this journey. I would really love it, if I could get a mentor to guide me through. I got really interested in the educative aspect during this conference, getting to know how to bring creativity to classrooms to enhance learning for students. I would like to go into that line but I don't know how to begin. I noticed schools in Africa haven't incorporated this creativity in classrooms yet and I would really love to speak to someone about this and if it's possible for Adobe to train some interested people to how to bring creativity to schools here in Africa.       Thank you.

Hi, Hope you are well 🙂 Dear adobe team, my name is [removed], and  I have an idea for your promotion.   What about the adobe portfolio challenge with a free lifetime subscription for the winners? To win the challenge the customer should create a noticeable portfolio Home Page or a Project Page.   I'm sure - you will find new clients. Not only those who gonna tried to win, but most importantly, the viewers will notice how beautiful those sites' pages could look with your adobe portfolio builder. They can create any page for any purpose. Personal Site/Portfolio, Project Breakdowns, The Idea Presentation (PowerPoint killer), and who knows what else 😉    But anyway, hope you like it, and thanks for your time! ^^

Hi everyone. I'm interested in starting to work on more brand style guides and I was wondering: When I give the client a style guide that shows how their flyers, billboards etc should look, should I give them the actual files for those designs aswell or should I just give a guideline of how it should look? Also, if I give them the actual files of the designs, how do I charge for that on top of the style guide.Any advise will be greatly appreciated. TIA

A San Mateo, California company building a flying electric car is now taking pre-orders.    Alef Aeronautics’ flying car has been given a Special Airworthiness Certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), meaning the company will be allowed to road/air test the car.   The fully-electric vehicle (with a hydrogen option for a higher price) is a low-speed vehicle that can be driven up to 200 miles on public roads and fits into a regular garage, but it can also launch vertically into the air with a flying range of 110 miles.   The "Model A" can fly forward above obstacles until a desired destination is reached.  Estimated price per car is $300K. The company has already received 400 pre-orders. https://nypost.com/2023/07/01/worlds-first-fully-electric-flying-car-approved-by-faa-and-accepting-preorders/

In the code which will exist in runtime on the site, how do I get the version of the extension so we can send it with requests we will do from the client side browser?   Is there perhaps a way to get it from the Adobe Extension UI first? By extension version I mean the version in the extension.json file of the package   Thanks    

😱  The first of its kind, New York City's  Congestion Pricing plan to charge drivers a daily toll to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street -- $23/day during rush hour, $17/day during off-peak hours -- was approved by the Federal Highway Administration. The goal is to help reduce congestion & pollution in the bussiest central business district and generate an expected $1 billion annually to improve mass transit. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/nyregion/nyc-congestion-pricing.html   I shudder to think what Taxi/Uber drivers & merchants are saying about this. 😖  

I took the plunge and bought a Duxtop portable induction cooktop from Amazon.  It arrived today.    I've got a magnet strapped to my wrist to test my old cookware.  My old stainless steel pots aren't having it.  But good news, my vintage cast iron boiled water in 1 minute.  Yeehaw!    It may take me a while to learn how to cook with induction. But so far so good.    

I am trying to create a custom datatype within a Content Fragment Model for colorpicker I followed the steps given in the following document -    https://blogs.perficient.com/2020/10/20/adding-a-color-picker-to-the-aem-content-fragment-model-editor/   I do see the color picker in the CFM but loads empty set of properties for the colorpicker -  Error logs show -  com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm.ui.impl.extras.DataTypeConfigImpl Provided meta type colorfield is not recognized as a valid type in the configuration resource /mnt/overlay/settings/dam/cfm/models/formbuilderconfig/datatypes   Are there any additional steps needed while adding custom datatypes and do we have a good set of documentation listing down the steps?

Hey guys, sorry to bother you. I am switching to Linux basically due to Software development limitation on Windows. Apart from a developer, I am also a Designer. I would like to take Illustrator and Adobe xD along with me, but it appears short of running VMs there is no other solution.So, my Question is: How to create a VM on Ubuntu 18.04, and have it run an OS that supports Adobe. Just an article that is sufficient to a Linux beginner would be fine.Suggestion: Truth is, I decided to start switching to Figma for Web Design and their Online Tool in the Browser since Figma is on the cloud. IMHO, and don't get offended but Figma is more feature rich than Xd. That being said still Xd interactions are much more fluid for some weird reason. So my suggestion is to make all your apps Browser based.Thanks for your time.
