my 2c
The project vision being easier with Open Source… there’s nothing easy about open source, perhaps the majority of NS users are here for … “free”… free and open source are not the same, open source has licensing… open source means you can look under the hood, tinker and audit, it does not mean free… frankly my guess is most are here because they need a free server, some are prepared for the work of making it useful for them, many are not… the question is… where are we at in 5 years, can we sustain this as a free server distro so users can depend on it in 5 years, that they will not be looking for another free solution in two years because this community didn’t have the resources to support a free and open source NS for the long term, can we continue to respond to major disruptions like the ownCloud fork?
We make the sysadmins life easier not because of open source but because we wrap open source in an easy to administer gui.
my edit of mission…
Mission; To leverage the power of Linux without the complexity.
Your project Values… is a collection of buzzwords, it’s not a value statement.
my edit…
Values… Supporting the community of sysadmins, be they home or business, with a powerful package of software to serve everyone, that will be free, open, dependable and sustainable for the long term.
