I think of the Drupal community whenever this comes up. An open source and community driven project with a prominent commercial angle to it, and a lot of little eddies in the economic water stirring up about it in its wake. Of course Canonical is another example of a commercial interest taking advantage of and guiding a community of users.

Likewise I have to echo the question..is any of this going to be a focus?

It seems like many communities have commercial sponsors, but unfortunately, the commercial sponsors rarely seem to know what they're doing.</p> Just out of curiosity, will the governance chapter have anything about balancing a community with commercial interests?
