Hi Klaas, I like the changes you made. I modified it a bit and checked it into the wiki page. I also refactored the original paragraph with this material and put it under a "Summary Description". We may just delete it later, but I left it there for now, with the idea that we may want a short description that fits onto a presentation slide. -Alan

I had the same idea and was sending in a proposal last week, see here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-foundation/2011-01/msg00000.html Seems that I had been pretty alone on the list at that point of time ;-)
I used the existing Wiki text and tried to enhance it a bit keeping its original idea.
Here are my thoughts: - 1st paragraph: I think the openSUSE Project covers more than 'just' a distro. It is the most currently, but that might change, and other activities such as promoting free content for example should also be mentioned.
- 2nd paragraph: I tried to be more accurate when it comes to trademarks.
- 3rd paragraph: is about membership, again with a bit more accuracy.
- 4th paragraph: actual purpose of the foundation, not sure if that says enough already.
- 5th paragraph: The meaning of the Guiding Principles.
I am not claiming that this is a better or complete text. It's just a proposal to line up some more details which should give a better guidance for our discussion here.
regards,
Klaas
