Here is my proposal based on the original vision, the feedback and my thoughts: "Free and open-source software makes live better. We envision everyone benefiting from the free and open-source software they need to have the best life. The Fedora Project provides a safe space for inclusive, welcoming and open-minded communities to build and distribute this software." Some annotations: - "open-minded" is the adjective that should mean that we encourage experimentation. - This vision also focuses on actual benefits for people and not on the software just for its own sake - In the original proposal, "will be" in the last sentence implied to me that Fedora does not follow this vision but only in a distant future when it will be a reference. What are your thoughts?
