meh, kind'a. we all seem pretty busy, I send a mail to the -strategy 
mailinglist wednesday but haven't seen any replies from the others yet...

At the conf one piece of feedback was that we need a single-sentence mission 
to describe what we want - very much like what fedora has:

The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open 
source software and content as a collaborative community. 

I think I like their mission and it's also pretty correct - so we brainstormed 
on what would fit openSUSE. Suggestions are very welcome, we currently have:

The openSUSE project's mission is to unlock the posibilities of computers to 
users around the globe using the power and flexibility of Linux.

but it's far from perfect. Somehow it should mention we focus on flexibility 
and power ("make things as simple as possible but no simpler"), it should be 
ambitious (eg worldwide blabla), focussed on end-users etc - the requirements 
are clear as they come from the rest of the strategy discusion. But now, how 
to phrase it in one sentence?
