This is really great news!
I am going to start working at getting Chalmers to be one of the key players in the foundation which would make the foundation even more vendor-neutral. I am confident that this will go through.
This almost sounds as if the Foundation isn't to be vendor-neutral from the start which is certainly not the intention of a foundation. What I like about other open source foundations (take the Plone Foundation from our community, for example) is that the members are developers, not companies. The developers govern themselves, every developer gets a vote.
I strongly second that. A company driven or ruled foundation is likely not very much acceptable for the Zope community.
Yes.
I wonder, given their experience in bootstrapping a foundation (with all the legal complications etc.), has the Plone Foundation been solicited for helpful input? Wouldn't make much sense for us to go through the same difficult steps if there's someone within our community who has done it already...
Maybe we should stop discusing these issues and wait until we hear some more solid information from ZC about their ZF plans. The ZF is a good idea but don't let us kill it in the beginning ... -aj
