Maybe, but the way the rules for composition of the board make it
impossible for a company to have more than two people sitting on the
board. Out of 24 Board Members, what's the worst that can happen?

I don't think there is nothing to be ashamed of if HP and Rackspace
employees are flocking to join as individual members. Speaking for what
I know at Rackspace, the company is investing deeply in OpenStack and I
have no doubt that this sort of support from corporate leadership is
permeating down the lines of employees.

I'd really like to investigate better the worst case scenario here,
considering the sort of systems put in place in the bylaws to have a
balanced board.
