They have all the votes, basically many developers in Hamburg are either leads or co-leads of a project. So, when the voting comes, they might be democratically incited by their managers to cast the right vote. The tentacles ORCL has on the community structures was nicely shown when they encouraged all project leads from ORCL to vote against Thorsten Behrens as product development representative, in spite of quite a good support he had in non-ORCL community part. The actually had to put against him a straw candidate being an ORCL employee because nobody in the other part of the community did see any reason to propose anybody else then Thorsten. But, even if they did not have the votes, did Robert Mugabe need to win elections to be president?
