They only way that they can become members is by going through the same process as everyone else - it's not that different from Debian, although it's more of a "do-ocracy". Part of the "process" is doing a lot for open source projects, so if Microsoft people actually start contributing a lot to open source projects... great. The risk that they will somehow numerically overwhelm the ASF strikes me as very slight indeed.

(IT Management) Posted Aug 1, 2008 22:39 UTC (Fri) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510) [Link] I'm not concerned about their technical people on the project. More with what they do with Apache software outside of the project: in the market, with regulators, etc.
