Had a drink after work with Ben Hyde, wherein I discovered that the Stata Center has a pub. Lots of other interesting ideas were exchanged, but ‘you can drink in a pub just as weird as the rest of the stata center’ may be the most lasting impact of the conversation ;) Ben was sort of surprised to know that there is a group of people trying hard to do open source GUI ‘right’, and had correctly predicted that realistically it would require a near-fork and many people would leave the project when it happened. Interesting talk.
