| Happy Thanksgiving ... the Internet of Islands.. |
No Man Is An Island
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

On US thanksgiving this year, I give thanks for the men and women who make up the Foxboro SCADA virtual team[s]. Located in many far flung cities, and more as an International group of friends/colleagues with a common purpose to support the Foxboro SCADA brand. This year there are many long term colleagues as well as some new faces. Without facebook and linkedIn or even our Invensys iShare portal it can be a struggle to put a face to a name or a voice to a name and a face on those late night conference calls.
Foxboro SCADA have an excellent distributed team with a positive helpful outlook. Each member of the immediate product support team is located in many cities from many different countries. Let me list them here.... but in particular - a special thanks to Patrizia and Simon, Joe and Fred, Shahid and Lu who really have put in an amazing effort daily.
USA, UK, ITALY, INDIA, CHINA, AUSTRALIA
For those of you who celebrate thanksgiving, have a great and happy holiday with your friends. For those of you who don't you can breathe easy for a few days until the full distributed virtual team is back on deck.
Thankyou and bless all of our customers and our regional delivery and sales teams for your support and encouragement throughout the last year.

PS: We don't get the holiday here in Australia [although it did make it to Norfolk Island] but having lived and worked in USA many times our family continues to celebrate Thanksgiving here in Sydney as well. It's a lot warmer and light well into the evening... a perfect way to spend a Saturday.
