I spent the day talking to Akassh’s team and learning more about what they do .  I’m really impressed with all of the team. Around noon my good friends David W  and Elpida came in from POK. They  were there to understand how they might also work with  Red Hat. I felt privileged to be there to hear the brainstorming . 

Meanwhile, A few hundred miles away my old boss Dario was at his Senate Confirmation hearing to be the new Undersecretary of Sceince for the US.    He’s a great guy.. and is exactly the type of person we need to advocate  science in these crazy times. 

Dario did a good job answering questions. He got questions from both left and right leaning senators… One  even brought his dog in the appeal for burning more coal… (Which i think is crazy). I was so proud of Dario.. and happy for him that things went well. 

That night we had a great dinner at Akash and Erikas and got to meet their dog Ladoo .. 

Wonderful to see them all in their natural habitat !!
