Had a great time at the @opensearch.org Milan #UserGroup Meetup last - thank you to those who attended and discussed #OpenSearch with us. And a special thank you to Maria Pina Di Cataldo, the heart of the OpenSearch community in Italy - leading the way in the growing community here. #opensource

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Traveling by train is so much better than plane. More space, more relaxing, just overall better.
