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.

Hi! I'm a bit confused, first of all Chalmers is a university, it is not a software vendor. Then when I look at the members of the Plone foundation ( http://plone.org/foundation/about/board/list ) I only see companies, except that ZC is not represented. So even if every member gets a vote, how much does that vote count in the development process of Zope2, CMF and Zope3 ? regards /JM
