A few years ago, the Fedora Council updated the Fedora mission statement. The result is functional but not particularly inspiring. It talks about what we’re doing, but not much about the why. So, this year, we worked on a new vision statement to serve as the proverbial “banner on a hilltop” that we can use to rally our existing community and to attract new contributors.
Our draft is at:
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/lets-write-a-new-vision-statement-fo...
We need your feedback and help in crafting a final version. Please reply here in this thread to keep discussion in one place. We'd like to come to a decision on this in Februrary.
there was already great feedback in this thread. Here is my proposal based on the original vision, the feedback and my thoughts:
"Free and open-source software makes live better. We envision everyone benefiting from the free and open-source software they need to have the best life. The Fedora Project provides a safe space for inclusive, welcoming and open-minded communities to build and distribute this software."
Some annotations: - "open-minded" is the adjective that should mean that we encourage experimentation. - This vision also focuses on actual benefits for people and not on the software just for its own sake - In the original proposal, "will be" in the last sentence implied to me that Fedora does not follow this vision but only in a distant future when it will be a reference.
What are your thoughts?
Kind regards Till
