It is memorable.</p> <p><a href="http://danielebailo.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/img_13322.jpeg"><img alt="IMG_13322" loading="lazy" src="https://danielebailo.github.io/en/news/lavorare-con-un-genio-egu-3/images/img_133221-300x225.jpeg"></a></p> <p><strong>Why? I will explain immediately:</strong> anyone with a scientific eye will already have understood that I was presenting a poster. I was at <a href="http://danielebailo.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/un-congresso-di-geoscienziati-alias-egu-1/" title="Un congresso di geoscienziati? (alias: EGU #1)">EGU</a> in Vienna. The guy next to me, wearing purple trousers, a black shirt, a black silk scarf with white doves, and a biker-style jacket, and I assure you that the hair is not a wig but real 1970s hair, may look like a hippie picked up at the last minute from the city streets. In reality, he is a great mind, and is seriously at risk of becoming my IT guru: <em>his name is Keith J. Jeffery</em>. He is a true heavyweight in European IT architectures, with many titles. An excerpt from <a href="http://www.stfc.ac.uk/Staff/5656.aspx">one of his bios</a> says: &ldquo;<em>Keith Jeffery is currently Director of IT and International Strategy of STFC (Science and Technology Facilities Council), based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK.</em>&rdquo; He also holds various other titles, director here, president there, has worked on Grid, now works on Cloud, and many other interesting things that I will skip.</p>
