And so as Strong Angel comes to an end it goes into Hotwash. What this term means we can only guess at. My vision is the end of some team-playing sports match with everyone in the washroom unwinding. And certainly considering the climate a hot or even cold wash would probably be very welcome, I guess. Hotwash actually means, I gather, an immediate post-event analysis.

Early feedback includes comments such as "PopG was an effective and valuable service." That means a lot to us. We have been part of the Groove Humanitarian Space for some time and have been itching for the opportunity to prove our worth. We really believe we have something unique to offer and are pleased to have been of service during SA2.

On a personal note throughout my computing career if someone had said to me that one day my technology might be able to make a potentially significant positive difference in a strife-ridden place such as Iraq then I would have laughed. I laugh no more.
