# ML Day
- Are we going to continue with ML Day? YC sees value in this
- ML day commitment issue caused by Platform team's capacity issue. YC suggests involving the engineers from other squads to delegate tasks and getting help.
- How ML can add value to current offering, to increase our revenue and fund more research? YC wants us to explore.
- Perhaps, working with partners like monetate for personalization might make more sense for Orange. YC encourages collaboration with other business units as Orange might not have the bandwidth for it at the moment.
- I shared how impatient I am for moo migration to be over. It's not a mundane task that can be fully automated -- it has a lots of intricacies but it's not intellectually stimulating.
- YC is keen on expediting Moo migration as product priorities has changed and this will free up financial resources.
