A long time ago, the website had this for a vision and mission, and the roles PLUG is supposed to play. Since I gathered this from the first site before I launched the second one years ago, I reckon that this was the mission and vision that existed sometime in the mid-90's:
VISION: To be an enabler of human progress in the global society, starting with the Philippines, by vigilantly advocating the use of Linux and Open Source Software, so as to reflect positively on both the product, its creators, developers, and users. MISSION: Provide for the needs of the Linux community and the general public in furtherance of the Vision goals. Cooperate with and coordinate among various sectors (research, education, corporate, government, non-profit, etc.) in assisting the community (users and non-users alike). Educate and empower members so that they will be self-sustaining and self-motivating contributors to the Organization's success. ROLES: Establish Special Interest Groups to further develop specific technical, policy and/or social issues, according to each members' interests and capability to contribute and learn. Promote Linux and Open Source through electronic (web, mailing lists) and traditional media, as well as via personal interaction (meetings, seminars). Since we're not operating with a board, I agree with Michael that we need to operate on a trust basis, then we can recreate the board, update that SEC registration. We need warm bodies that we can trust.
