[Ubuntu Oregon] New AMD Ryzen CPUs

Sat Mar 4 07:17:13 UTC 2017

We had a really good time at today's Ubuntu hour. Good conversation was had
with Phil. We discussed Ubuntu Touch on the Nexus 4, convergence, using
your old hardware with Ubuntu for some number crunching with Boinc and we
finished up the evening talking about A.I. and IoT.

I have to say, Phil, you are one of the most knowledgeable people I've met
and a real pleasure to talk to. We look forward to future discussions with
you and the rest of the LoCo team.

Cheers
Che
