News from the OnEBoard Crew

What else was the OnEBoard team doing in May? 

Bob Danley says "Striped Coralroot is a native wildflower (orchid) that is difficult for me to find in conifer forest habitat. That is with the exception of one spot that is reliable for this plant. Yep, there were a handful on May 17...got some good photos. I posted my discovery to Bluesky."

Nina Trankova attended Google Cloud Day Bulgaria. She says "Sofia Shines at Google Cloud Day with Municipal Tech Upgrade! Sofia hosted Google Cloud Day on May 13th, showcasing the latest in cloud technology and AI. A key highlight was Mayor Vassil Terziev discussing the Sofia Municipality's successful implementation of Google Workspace. This move is set to enhance efficiency, security, and collaboration across the city's administration, marking a significant step in its digital transformation."

Peggy Kolm learned about growing native plants and green home features as part of the Bringing Back the Natives garden tour. And she planted some wildflowers to encourage pollinators.
