Hi Brett,

Has the CSAC happened yet? Was this discussed? I agree this is positive (I was impressed that CERN made it so public as a project https://home.cern/news/news/computing/migrating-open-source-technologies)

Will raise it in the collaborative tools meeting that I hope is finally close

You've probably heard about this already. It will be discussed at the
next CSAC.

I think this divestment from MS will make lives better (at least mine)
and I think it's an opportunity for BNL to jump on in some way. Can we
consider if there is something NPPS can and should do to participate in
and/or amplify this CERN divestment?

I found some more detail on CERN's thinking:

It hasn't yet made its way into the popular press that I've seen.
Finding it is a rare example of reddit actually being useful. :)
