I agree with the points you make.
Same here. This is what is resonating most with me from what I have seen in this thread. Thanks, Ingo. It captures what I perceive as the common ground of what we want to reach. The exact wording could maybe be improved. But it has the right element. "enables everyone" expresses that we are giving people access to technology, that we break down barriers, that we imagine a world where software freedom is the norm. "control their digital life" captures the end user target and that it is about giving control to people. Again something which goes very well with the ideals of free software, but on a more general level. "without compromising their privacy" might be a bit limited in the concrete mention of privacy, but it expresses that the world we want to reach is one where fundamental rights are respected, individuals are respected, and technology is used in a responsible way. I'm thinking of a "free society" here. Having such a vision statement might not be for everyone, but I think this is ok. This is not about convincing anybody, but about expressing the common driver which already is there. I do think it's motivating, but I also think there are many other motivations and concrete reasons which bring people to KDE. In the end I feel they are compatible with a vision statement as Ingo expressed it and it actually describes the core of where we can go as a community. -- Cornelius Schumacher <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
