Keith-Jeffery

Questa foto merita di stare al centro della pagina. E’ memorabile. Perchè? Lo spiego subito: Chi ha l’occhio da scienziato avrà già intuito che stavo presentando un poster. Ero all’EGU a Vienna. Il tizio vicino a me, con pantaloni viola, camicia nera, foulard di seta nero con colombe bianche e un giacchetto tipo chiodo (e la capigliatura assicuro che non è una parrucca, ma vero capello anni 70!), sebbene possa dare l’idea di essere un frikkettone trovato all’ultimo momento per le strade della città, è in realtà un grande (rischia seriamente di diventare il mio Guru informatico): si chiama Keith J Jeffery, è un vero cervellone delle architetture informatiche in Europa, con vari titoli (dice un excerpt di una sua [[_FILES/PROJ-SRC/github/danielebailo.github.io/content/bio|bio]]: “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.”). Ma possiede vari altri titoli (direttore di quà, presidente di là), si è occupato di Grid o ora lavora col Cloud e tante altre belle cosine che tralascio. ...

This photo deserves to be at the center of the page. It is memorable. Why? I will explain immediately: anyone with a scientific eye will already have understood that I was presenting a poster. I was at EGU 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: his name is Keith J. Jeffery. He is a true heavyweight in European IT architectures, with many titles. An excerpt from one of his bios says: “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.” 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. ...
