On June 2nd, I will be speaking for DISA at The Carahsoft GovExperience Summit (https://t.co/JWaW6dXl0A) in Reston. I will be highlighting our new DISA Cloud Environment - Private (DCE-P), our AI efforts, and how we are evolving to meet the changing needs of the US Warfighters.

Had a long conversation today to say goodbye to a friend, confidant, and thought leader. Steve Wallace (CTO for DISA) is leaving the government for new role in industry. Steve and I's career have been intertwined since 2005, Its a big loss for me personally.

I want to apologize to those that went out of their way to attend this event based on me being scheduled to speak. There was a mixup, and I did not receive final approval from OSD Public Affairs to speak until this morning after we had already pulled out of the event.

Yesterday I attended the 30th Anniversary event in honor of Intelink (the Intel Communities information sharing networks). Saw lots of old friends and colleagues, but the best part was hearing @spdrock speak about the impact the work we did had on the community.

Spent the last three days with leadership doing strategic and tactical planning for FY24 and FY25. Lots of new capabilities around Hybrid and OCONUS cloud are rolling out. Reach out for more info!

Just to piggy back on my previous tweet, this is a great video about the history of Defense Enterprise Email (DEE): https://t.co/zLTUa9AKqY

[John E. Hale @johnhale]

In 2011, I was the PM of both DEE (Defense Enterprise Email) and the associated (GAL) Global Address List. 11 years later, on December 1st. 2022 the last email was sent from DEE and the last part of the system was shutdown. Progress is inevitable. https://t.co/bQzF8HWFOq
