Currently on my mind

Finally it's time for Netlight Edge Conference 2015. Next weekend in Munich it will be a fact, hosted by our local Munich office.  I love the day since it gives me time to reflect and goes perfectly hand-in-hand with my own personal purpose of being part of creating the digital future we all live in together with other talented and passionate people - how we travel, how we communicate, how we amuse ourselves, how we grow and develop - in other words how we live our lives. This day we're spending with all of our offices and our clients, our friends - together we really make a difference.

Boid is short for “bird-oid”, i.e. bird robot, and simulates bird flocks. In a flock every boid decides which direction to take based on simple principle guidelines. Every boid is also paying attention to the group and thereby something greater emerges. One boid can get the entire flock to change direction, but no boid is leading the group. One boid or several might be at the front pointing out the direction, but they can also retire into to group and the group decides whether they follow or not. If no boid was flying the flock wouldn’t get anywhere. If all boids were flying independently of each other, they would be alone. If no boid took the lead the flock would eventually crash. In Command is an encouragement to everyone to take command to handle every situation yourselves. Becaus...
