However, I'd advocate trying to use the term "open source" or
"open standards" as opposed to "free"<br>
whenever possible.<br>

<p>I saw my city high level contact yesterday and she said
she has yet to read my email re: this. She promised that
she would and though she can't directly impact the project
she may know how to get into the city machinations. I'll
keep all posted.</p>

<pre>Dear nmglugers,
I came upon this article:

in which they discuss external review of Santa Fe's IT infrastructure.
These overhauls sometimes involve picking some company, reading their
brochure, and giving them a contract.
I have seen a large institution where they replaced the UW IMAP server
with a Microsoft exchange system, going from 50% of an employee to run
the institution's email to 3 full-time people to run the Microsoft
... It would also be cool if someone had the
ear of the city's IT planners and could propose some free software
adoption, as well as a requirement free software compatibility.
