It seems that is time to explain what exactly is distribution and its relation 
to services (Build Service,openFATE, bugzilla, ...), community around 
(software developers, other contributors, users, ) and so on :) 

What it does for users? 
How exactly software flows from original author to user, and why it is better 
to use distro then to directly download and compile software.  

Why it is important to be active contributor, not only passive user that shows 
up only when something doesn't work. "There is no such thing as a free beer", 
comes in mind.
