Re: <nettime> Former Google CEO Schmidt to head new Pentagon

[Andreas Broeckmann <ab@mikro.in-berlin.de>]

Felix, I find it somewhat relieving to be told in such clear prose.

And at least one of the task for Nettimers seems set, too: identify 
Eric's 12 apostles! Applicants must have:

- led large private and public organizations (maybe it should say "or"?);
- experience in Silicon Valley (strange rule, but that's what it says);
- excelled at identifying and adopting new technology concepts;
- want to help the Pentagon become more innovative and adaptive in 
developing technology and doing business;
- be able to advise on rapid prototyping, iterative product development, 
complex data analysis, the use of mobile and cloud applications and 
organizational information sharing. (again, maybe this should say "or"?)

(I assume that for reasons of trust and national security "the 12" must 
probably also be US citizens? Anyway, I guess the rule "must want to 
help the Pentagon" is sufficiently limiting the pool of candidates.)
