Microsoft's headquarters is in Redmond, WA. ESRI is in Redlands, CA.
Easy to mix up.
And I understand they're not just a face shop for ESRI. But knowing
how ESRI works I'm guessing they're very hand in hand. I only point it
out to soften possible expectations for success. By all means though,
steer the ESRI ship towards more open waters!

All, a colleague from our local chapter has recently been at
Redlands Institute and emailed me the following link:

His observation was that much of the extant content uses
proprietary software for exemplars and that some contribution
from the OSGeo might be worth investigating. Do others in the
OSGeo community feel that there may be some traction here for
broader visibility ?
