Lest anyone think I am trying to start a flame war, I am not.
I try to take a pragmatic approach. As a sysadmin I have used Linux
for many years where it's appropriate on my servers but I never
try to yank Windows/Office away from people who are content to use them.

I do intend to work on a GIS project. But I have 47 other projects going
already. If I do pop up somewhere it will probably involve GPS because
it's the most fun for me. Sorry I can't be a sponsor; I am a poor GIS
student.

I work part-time as a GIS tech. We use ArcMap at work.
Need I say more? Now I promise I will never say "ArcMap" here,
ever again. :-)

Thanks for your suggestion regarding mailing lists. I am already on a
dozen other mailing lists, each devoted to one application program.

It's a very exciting time to be working with GIS/GPS open source.
