Top of the lyne - What's in the box?
It’s important to remember that the Svalbard archipelago is the most geopolitically secure place in the world. Here in Svalbard, in a large steel vault located 200 meters below thick permafrost and reaching another 300 meters into the side of a mountain is a vault further secured with concrete walls and a steel gate. This vault sits inside an abandoned coal mine and is built to survive decades of power failures, damage from EMP weapons, and a couple of nuclear strikes. Buried in this vault are the following seemingly random assortment of objects:
There’s a reason this vault is buried in the most geopolitically secure place in the world, despite the fact that the abandoned coal mine in which it is housed is immune to even mankind’s deadliest weapons: and that is because this is the human race’s best attempt at a Time Capsule/Doomsday Vault. The Arctic World Archive in Svalbard guards mankind’s most valuable assets - for posterity. On September 6, the Cloud meets at the San Mateo County event center for SaaStr Annual. Although no Svalbard, San Mateo is home to the flagship gathering of the world’s largest community for SaaS executives, founders, and entrepreneurs. And this is as good an occasion as any to make an attempt at preserving the Cloud’s most valuable artifacts and stories for posterity. And so on September 6 - at the end of day 1 of SaaStr Annual, we’re burying a Time Capsule in San Mateo, containing what we think are artifacts that are worthy of preservation from the world of the cloud and SaaS. From the hundreds of submissions that we’ve received so far, here are some of our top picks. 1\ "True Random": Cloudflare's (Lavarand’s) wall of lava lamps.
2\ “Wall of Money”: Shredded paper, wooden frame.
3\ “The highest level of customer advocacy”: A mystery exhibit from 6sense, representing the power of personalization
4\ “Blend: A reminder of purpose”: A great wooden map of the U.S. that hangs on the walls of the Blend offices.
5\ “RIP Paper Checks: 1762-2010”: An old lockbox that AP B2B managers used daily to store physical checks for balancing their checkbooks.
(to be continued…) Discover these and other exhibits live at the Time Capsule afterparty we’re hosting along with Paddle and Common Room on September 6 (that’s next Wednesday) at Ballroom A in Pinstripes, San Mateo.
