The problem is that Sabine used expression "mission statement" that wasn't
good description of examples. Examples where slogan (motto) and, after Magnus
Boman mentioned idea to use wiki, I created "openSUSE:Slogan" page. Sabine
didn't complain on that, so we can take that marketing looked for a slogan
and further discussion revolving around "mission statement" is not
applicable.
The slogan is not self introduction, it is few words that sound good. Take all
the best slogans that you have ever seen, what they have with self
introduction, IMHO in most cases nothing.
They are all designed to be appealing and lend that appeal to associated
product.
