Another day building wheels (and so on).
Built a rear wheel with an Open Pro rim in hard anodized color.
FH-9000 32H Campagnolo/4-cross lacing.
I'll do the valve hole drilling later.
The customer wanted 14-gauge plain spokes on both sides,
but I asked if we could use Campagnolo spokes on the non-drive side and do 4-cross lacing instead.
Per the customer's preference, the nipples are brass.
In terms of galvanic potential between the nipple material and the rim eyelet material,
brass might actually be better than aluminum.
I haven't heard of any particular stories of severe corrosion from using aluminum nipples on Open Pros, though.
