Occupy Flash

Rid the world of the obsolete Flash technology !
Flash est un environnement de programmation interactive très vieux jeu qui s’est imposé comme un standard de facto pour le web, car c’était un des premiers langages permettant l’affichage de dessins vectoriels dans les navigateurs. It was initially called FutureSplash Animator. It was a great idea, and its development in 1995 coincided with the beginning of the web. But 15 years & 2 M&A laters, it clearly has reached the status of an old dictatorship like Khaddafi’s… We might not get rid of cars in a day, but maybe we can make the web a more progressive space by developing open standards for interactive animation & video on the internet.
