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 ?
