Excited for what Maps x Gemini can do in the hands of developers 📍🚀

@grapesfrog ha ha thanks Grace! Not sure why the trains aspect was missed out of the job spec, so thanks for clarifying :-D "experience with Lego trains essential"

[Ed Boiling @boilerwadding]

@rollohome @GPSBaby Always good to see a rare glimpse inside an OS datacenter (that one was in the old Stanfords wasn't it?)

@AngharadStone (apologies if this fails the 'not maps' test...)

[Ed Boiling @boilerwadding]
