Earlier this week I organized a BBQ gathering at my place for the great interns working with us this summer. I’ve been working with interns in two separate projects…

• Datacenter-related in collaboration with James Hamilton and Dan Reed‘s Data Center Futures team;
• “Semantics Summer of Fun” together with Evelyne Viegas.

We’ve been very lucky with all the interns and I think they have been enjoying it as well. Unfortunately, the time has passed fast and the first ones have already started to depart.

From left to right:

• Pablo (Beate’s boyfriend);
• Evelyne Viegas (my conspirator in the semantic computing space and a great collaborator… I love working with Evelyne!);
• Beth Huffer (semantics fun);
• Zach Hill (datacenter-related project, University of Virginia);
• Thilina Gunarathne (datacenter-related project, Indiana University);
• Chung-wei Hang (Semantics/Social networking, North Carolina State University);
• Palani Kodeswaran (Semantics/Privacy, University of Maryland Baltimore County);
• Zareen Syed (Semantics/Information Extraction, University of Maryland Baltimore County);
• Beate Krause (Semantics/Social networking, Universit t Kassel)

There were others at the BBQ (like Alex Wade, Andrea Westerinen, etc.) who are not in the photo.

It was a wonderful day.
