This, from one of the most insular corporations I have ever seen. They are trying to change their perception in the marketplace, obviously. But maybe they can begin to make perception reality.

No one, including David Mash himself when I emailed him personally, has ever been able to actually tell me what the Avid Customer Association's purpose is, or what they actually do...other than have a big get together immediately before NAB.

At least this is something concrete.

I think we all pretty much agree - we love the product, but hate the company and how it has been handled by upper management for a while. Ambiguous gimmicks like the 'artist suite', 'media suite' and 'storage suite' etc... R and D on things that most of us already do with other software and techniques (on line collaboration) and then offer up the new technologies in such a crippled manner that we laugh at it (collaboration project size).

Here is to hoping they get their **** together or get acquired by a company that can handle brining their products back to the top of the production food chain.

I am curious to see how they deal with Black Magic now that they bought Fairlight.

too little too late.

love the people in the trenches doing the work.

cannot stand management + marketing.

time for them to go, and for someone else to take over curating PT development.

I just got the official email. Two rounds of voting, results announced in March? What a joke. Just fix the damn software already. I'll be voting with my wallet if I have to wait til March to see if Avid is going to address three years old bugs.

Anybody know what they/we are voting on?

I tried to look, but I guess you have to actually start the voting process to find out. I didn't have time to complete the voting and didn't want to waste my vote.

If there's a need for a vote why can't we just vote right here?
