#60 "What is Fedora" needs improvement
Closed 4 years ago by bcotton. Opened 4 years ago by ankursinha.

It currently says here:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_what_is_fedora

"The Fedora Project is a community of people working together to build a free and open source software platform and to collaborate on and share user-focused solutions built on that platform. Or, in plain English, we make an operating system and we make it easy for you do useful stuff with it."

This is a quite a limited definition of the community. Could it please be updated to something like this instead:

"The Fedora Project is a community of people working together to further the Free/Open Source software philosophy. We do this by building a software platform and collaborating on and sharing user-focused solutions based on that platform. Or, in plain English, we make a Free/Open source operating system and make it easy for you to do useful stuff with it"

I.e., something that clearly discerns our mission from the method we take to achieve it:

  • promoting FOSS is the mission
  • we do it by building the OS (and so much more!).

Our goal is not merely to build the OS. The product we create changes regularly, and it is the mission that remains constant.
