Pragmatic Principles
It's been a tough old year. Ditching out of 7 R&P deals at once naturally brings with it a whole host of stressful situations to navigate. Through all of this, an absolutely excellent piece of work (that I am very proud we achieved) underpinned a huge amount of our strategic thinking and decision making.

Keynote from Marco Gori essentially was him promoting UNaIVERSE. It seems to be a decentralised,privacy focused form of AI. It makes sense but given what Ex Libris are doing currently,I would wonder if they would be interested.
I think the community definitely would be.
