Christian at the Red Hat world headquarters on the Centenniel Campus at NCSU

Thank goodness for the Prescott Valley Library–a world class public library in anybody’s book.  Amazingly, I would have say that, even though it is dramatically smaller, as a place to work on volunteer developer on fine side projects, it works for me just as well as the fabulous new Hunt Library at NCSU.  Hopefully, I will be there this time next week.  Just like biscuits and gravy at McDonald’s, there is something else Prescott Valley does not have.  On the drive to the Hunt Library this morning, about a block before we got there, we passed the world headquarters of RedHat, one of the premier open source software companies in the world–right on the NCSU campus.  SAS is there, too.  NCSU is really doing some amazing things at their school.  Just one example of this is their category leading Advanced Analytics Institute as a prototype for the rest of the world on how to prepare engineers for industry better than anyone else.  Kudos.
