   I used to joke that the Internet could not be invented today because it required a lot of work with no obvious benefit.
   It's not funny anymore.
   @carlton @webology @ericholscher @maxine
   If "infrastructure" is "stuff required by the stuff I require"
   and "production" is "when people use it and I'm not around"
   then few devs and IT staff will be able self host everything above their IP address.
   For instance, when I mention that I hosted a private instance of RTD + Texlive at work, few people know what that means. (... even fewer give a $#@).

   Federation requires interoperability and that's a word I don't hear often enough.
   Interoperability requires a big view and a bigger heart...John Postel sized heart.
   IMHO, if we had a half dozen more @brewsterkahle level people, I would have reason to be optimistic.

   So we need to find those people or build them if necessary.
