Maybe it's a good time to mention that the grant I got for my PhD research is a project collecting documents and oral histories of GIS software development.

@beep my favorite part of his bio is "He is also a LinkedIn Top Voice"

in addition to killing Toys R Us and generally being vultures feel like it's also fun to note that David Petraeus has some nonsense job title at KKR that probably pays him some obscene amount of money https://www.kkr.com/our-firm/leadership/david-h-petraeus

@aparrish I want to egg the house of the faculty who brokered this
