To me, it's important that we talk about "Free and Open Source Software" because "free/open platforms" can be proprietary, too. Many people consider the Apple iOS and macOS platforms to be "open" but it's still proprietary and doesn't give you the expected freedoms. Platforms beget ecosystems, so you can have an open platform without Free Software. There are a couple of grammar tweaks to make, so here's what I propose as a slight improvement on Stephen's: ~~~~ The Fedora Project creates innovative platforms built on Free and Open Source Software that allows communities to build tailored solutions for their users. ~~~~ That statement changes the wording slightly to emphasize FOSS and also to remove the exclusion of communities not affiliated with Fedora directly. There are plenty of downstreams from us that use Fedora to build something greater. However, I would not be opposed to the following either: ~~~~ The Fedora Project creates innovative platforms built on Free and Open Source Software that allows our community to build tailored solutions for their users. ~~~~ What do you think? -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
