Busy on both sides.

## Prospects

- NTP project for Prossimo going smoothly

Ferrous:

- Working on permanent funding for open-source work
- Focus on larger companies to work for, not small startups. TG the same? No, TG likes to work for early startups, given there is funding, a challenging problem and good culture / tech people.
