If you were thinking that the current lineup for presidential elections is quite wild, here is a different kind of option: rumor goes that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is going to run for President in 2020.

I had the pleasure to chat with Event Presence CEO, Steve Ernst, who introduced me to Michelle Posey, Certified Class 4-Commercial Beam Pilot. Michelle was beaming from lovely Monterey, California:
Oh, and one more thing: there is free food, free coffee and free ice-cream, provided for all DreamForce15 attendees by Adobe food trucks (Mission St. and New Montgomery). As well as free massage -plus coffee and pastries- at Optimizely co-working space.
