[OSGeo-Discuss] Redlands SDS ?

[Brian Russo]

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!
