Mission statement

[Jens-Ulrik Petersen]

Hi,

In last week's meeting I brought the idea that perhaps
we should have a Mission Statement for the Fedora I18n project,
and we agreed to take the discussion to the mailing to
save meeting time.

I haven't given it a lot of thought yet but it might be
something of the form say:

"The Mission of the Fedora i18n Project is to ensure we have the best possible international language OS support in Fedora".

I think we can probably do better than that though: what ideas do others have?

"Enabling Fedora to speak your language"

Certainly not a fortune 500 mission statement ;)

Cheers,

Thank you Ankit for your input. :)

We were tracking this task through Fedora i18n meeting. During the time we
got 8 suggestions. All of those are available on ticket. [1]
Today in i18n meeting [2] we had extensive discussion on developing Vision
statement. One can find discussion in meeting log and also edits during
meeting are available at piratepad. [3]

Finally all in meeting were agreed on following vision statement.

*"Fedora i18n makes technology accessible and attractive for users of every
language."*
We decided to keep this in draft for one week to get further inputs and
then finalize one.  Do provide your input and suggestion for same.

Best Regards,
Pravin Satpute
