Just yesterday Mozilla Europe's Tristan Nitot predicted that Adobe might open source Flash one day if competition from Microsoft's Silverlight got too fierce. It seems as if he can look into the future, as today Adobe has announced the Open Screen Project. While not exactly an open source announcement, it does open the door a little bit more.

Adobe's Flash 9 binary blob crashes quite a bit when used in conjunction with Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
I believe this is due to Hardy's inclusion of PulseAudio ... apparently this is the piece that doesn't play well together with Adobe's flash 9 binary blob for Linux.
There is a library that you can get that does enable it to kinda work ... but there are still crashes.
I removed Adobe's Flash 9 blob, and installed Gnash 0.8.2-0ubuntu3 on my Ubuntu Hardy install ... I can still use Youtube, and I haven't had a crash yet (although I haven't been using it long). Certainly I can now do some actions without crashing that used to reliably crash Firefox 3beta5 viewing Youtbue using Adobe Flash 9.
