Andy Hopkirk is a legend in government circles for his unstinting leadership in driving interoperability initiatives like the e-Government Integration Framework (e-GIF)through his work at the National Computing Centre (NCC) here in the UK!
Besides this, he's got great hair and a fantastic beard that makes me think I'm talking to a professor out of some Heath Robinson picture!
Andy presented at AIC on the need for arhitects to stand up and be counted and I got time with himto explore this and other stuff a little further.
