Re: [RFC] Vision Statement
----- Original Message -----
We discussed the Vision Statement again on yesterday's meeting
and
re-iterated it a bit. The last proposal was:
"Fedora is the preferred platform for software development and
deployment in any language or application stack."
+1 Great simplicity, general enough, I like it.
A few comments:
1) To me "deployment" means that we'll make it quick and painless for
developers to deploy their applications on Fedora, regardless of the
applications' specific language (stack) requirements. However, this does
not mean that we'll provide "production deployment" guarantees and
support.
We shouldn't guarantee anything, since we're still OSS based on community, where
nobody is forced doing stuff. But I won't give up a target to make even production
deployment as easy as possible. If we can make the admin's life easier, we should.
2) Is the word "application stack" understood well enough
by the PRD's
intended audience? Are there simpler alternatives?
I feel it describes a general set of more than one applications, not related to a way how
it is available; we don't have to imagine a specific technology behind that. So, for
me it is understood-able, but I may be influence by the fact that I already use that term
for some time almost daily.
3) When making changes to the Vision statement we should strive for
simplicity.
Absolutely and the current version seems simple to me.
