* I'm very happy a foundation has been announced.
Me too, and I am grateful to Zope Corp. for that.
* We all agree that the Foundation should be about more than just vendors [...] We have extremely significant contributors in the community
[...] It makes sense to have also _users_ (people who use Zope but who doesn't contribute any code to the code base): we need help from the users to meet their needs. In my opinion Zope Corp. is company in which many people are very clever.
* From my perspective as a company co-owner: the Foundation should be vendor-friendly.
One of the reason that Zope Foundation exists is to support Zope vendors and other communities who use Zope as a technological basis (such as Plone, Nuxeo etc.)
* It's important for all parties involved to reach clarity about the relationship of the Zope Foundation with existing foundations and initiatives within the Zope community.
It's also important to define how existing foundations (such as Plone Foundation, for instance), may cooperate with Zope Foundation. Regards Piero Giuseppe Goletto
