I'm interested in reading the unpublished article on the SOJTF JOC.

I am interested in your thoughts on Teams as a platform for much of the Jabber/mIRC applications.

Great rundown!!

I was pulling hard for Teams on NIPR and SIPR back in 2019. It's not perfect (No software is), but it's vastly better than Jabber/Cisco. In particular I like that you can have a chat thread right alongside the video, which helps everyone get involved in the meeting, not just the person who's unmuted. We had a handful of teams out in Oki when I was in commend as well, which was great for flattening comms across the formation.

And it's great for being able to record your Pro-Devs.

Erik, we’ve been friends for a long time. I love that you have personally taken up the gauntlet of stamping out the technical and data debt the older generation saddled us with, but I know you didn’t just compare the Cisco Hell music to Mighty Wings 😂

Right, the actual opening scene music, I’ll give you that. The Cisco hold music haunts me and light a fire of rage hot enough to forge Valerian Steel.
