[OSGeo-Discuss] ESRI getting more serious about open source?

[Ned Horning]

Hi - A colleague on the Society for Sonservation GIS list shared a link 
to this blog "Esri and Open Source Software: More Please" at 
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2012/08/27/esri-and-open-source-software-more-please/

I'm not sure what to think about it but on the surface it seems like a 
good thing. Is OSGeo involved with this initiative in any way? If not is 
there any interest in having OSGeo play an active role in the opening of 
ESRI code? I'm curious what other folks think of this.
