Help mentor a student in China. You will help students grasp certain aspects of the project they are having trouble working on. This can be anything from how to check in files to Subversion and write CSS, to Advanced Programming techniques. The exact mechanism between the student group and the mentor is left to the comfort of each individual mentor and students. This can be seeing a students desktop through Acrobat Connect, but mostly will be either Skype, IRC, or your IM of choice i.e., AIM, QQ, or Google Chat.

2. In fact, Adobe would announce major technical news at this event. For example, Flex 3.0 product was built on the eve of CFUnited and released to the attendees on the opening ceremony of CFUnited.
