We need both, and, crucially, we need them to be interconnected. We have a
very high-level goal in our mission "to lead the advancement of free and
open source software and content as a collaborative community."
"Creating a Linux distribution" is noticeably missing from this mission, and
we certainly could spend some time revisiting that if there's enough
interest, but I'm content to read "to lead" as "create a Linux distribution
which leads". If we're fine with that collectively, cool, but we certainly
can go back to that level if people think it would be productive.
I can explain this, either having been on the board at the time or
pulled into to consult with the board from a process pov -
=================
The Vision Statement
Our ultimate vision for the future that we'd like to achieve.
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Vision_statement)
The Fedora Project creates a world where
free culture is welcoming and widespread,
collaboration is commonplace, and
people control their content and devices.
=================
The Mission
At a high level, what we will do to achieve our vision.
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview)
=================
Our Objectives
Specific projects we work on in support of our mission. #1 on the list
is "Creating a Free (as in Freedom) distribution"
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives)
==================
The Foundations
The principles by which we'll do our work and values that guide our
decisions (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations)
===================
These documents are all interconnected.
Feels like maybe the discussion we need to have is whether or not our
current objectives are supporting our vision and mission.
