[OSGeo-Discuss] A quick poll!

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Wow, in a few short hours the yes/no results in the poll went from 
38/38% to 85/5% - thanks for voting, that's very cool to see.

On a similar note, because many of the OSGeo libraries are also used 
behind proprietary products, many proprietary users won't even know that 
they actually do use open source without knowing it.  That's a big 
success story, in my opinion, and one I remind audiences about 
regularly.  Software "good enough" to be relied on by the massive 
commercial interests of proprietary vendors... says something positive 
about our quality.

Keep up the good work developers! :)
