But it is still missing one vital thing -- the statement doesn't differentiate openSUSE directly from the other Linux distributions out there at all.
The problem is that Sabine used expression "mission statement" that wasn't good description of examples. Examples where slogan (motto) and, after Magnus Boman mentioned idea to use wiki, I created "openSUSE:Slogan" page. Sabine didn't complain on that, so we can take that marketing looked for a slogan and further discussion revolving around "mission statement" is not applicable.
The slogan is not self introduction, it is few words that sound good. Take all the best slogans that you have ever seen, what they have with self introduction, IMHO in most cases nothing.
They are all designed to be appealing and lend that appeal to associated product.
