I send this list to Serge but could not get space in that list because,
Thanks Anand for this list. I think most of these people are community members, right? The list in the post are all Adobe staffers.
No hard feelings though. I thought its a nice idea he initiated, and I want to create a list of Tweeter gang who contribute a lot as a contributor. This list will go long so I would like to request the readers (spcly, active tweeter contributors) to put their name and URL in comment so that I can incroporate them on a regular basis. I think few of them are Adobe employees but they have a pretty respected space in community too, so I do not want to discriminate anybody in any sense.
This list is open for all the communities across the universe ;).
Happy FLEXing ..

Pearson VUE to be sole testing provider for Adobe ACE exams
Posted on | February 17, 2009 | 1 Comment
Hi I got this mail early morning today which states that Prometric centers are no more Adobe Certified Exam providers. Here is the mail which I am pasting in public interest.
Dear Adobe Certified Expert,
Beginning February 21, 2009, the administration of all Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) exams will be handled exclusively by Pearson VUE. Shifting to one vendor will improve service to ACEs and Adobe Training partners by providing reporting improvements, increased certification scalability and coverage —VUE operates over 5,000 testing centers in 162 countries.
Exams scheduled after February 20, 2009, with a Prometric testing center will need to be canceled and rescheduled with Pearson VUE.
Keep your certification current!
To retain your certification status you must pass a recertification exam within 90 days after the exam is published.
A listing of available ACE exams and tips on how to prepare can be found here. Find a Pearson VUE testing center near you or register for a recertification exam here.
Best regards,
The Adobe Certified Team
Since 7th June 2007
