Re: Re: Accounting Applications

In order to satisfy Boeing's internal corporate requirements, do you
believe it may be possible for them to sponsor some open source development?

Possibly talk with some key people in charge of R&D at Boeing? The
objective is solid/stable applications developed and tailored to
Boeing's needs, and released under an Open Source license. By being an
industry leader in Open Source embracement, the code and applications
will likely have Boeing's name attached and presented all over the
place. Could this also work well for marketing purposes?
