[Benchmarking] ESRI won't be there, what do we tell people?

[Satish Sankaran]

Andrea,

	I have shared some information with Cameron on how to proceed on this. I do understand the sense of disappointment that the rest of the team has with this decision. Cameron should be able to put some information out there regarding our decision.

	I will be there at FOSS4G along with another colleague participating in the CCIP demo. We will touch base with the "shoot out" folks while in Australia.

Thanks.

Satish
ESRI

Hi all,
I was wondering what to do about the ESRI departure.

We had this public announcement
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/foss4g2009/2009-October/001487.html

so it's not really possible to just say that "it never
happened". People will look forward to see how the three
servers stack up and will be disappointed not to see
ArcGis including in the lot, it really was the highlight
of the year.

So I guess we'll have to say something, either in the
slides, or by voice, or by having Cameron make a counter
announcement that rectifies the first.
The most sensible approach, imho, is to have ESRI representatives
tell us what they would prefer. Are you still around?
Please, help us :-)

Cheers
Andrea
