one jos, two joos? ;-)

is kinda running it now, but are we getting closer to
getting it finalized?


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?

/me bangs his head against the wall again

How about

The openSUSE project's mission is to unlock the possibilities of computers to
all users around the globe using the power and flexibility of Linux and other
Community driven and supported Open Source Software.
