Hmm, I can't help thinking this is the kind of mostly pointless corporate mission statement I've have presented with innumerable times in my corporate past.
Hmmm. to check: do you think the same about the one Fedora has?
If this is the one: "The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.", then yes, I think that is also mostly pointless waffle. It sounds grand, but does it _mean_ anything?
Acutally I read it as 'we advance technology' (which results in them shipping bleeding edge stuff, even if it might break things). But on a second look, it doesn't even say that. Maybe I was too enthousiastic about their mission :D
