A vision is a series of goals for a project, like "my vision is that we will produce knoppix like catalyst+template releases for myth, firewalls-on-a-disk, etc by the 2007.0 release." a mission statement is "we'll make the best from source distro ever." i.e, mission statements never change because they are just an overarching definition of a project, not the vision or goal it might be working towards at the moment. somebody shoot me, my job in middle management is finally getting to me. - -- - -----o()o---------------------------------------------- Michael Cummings | #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-perl Gentoo Perl Dev | on irc.freenode.net Gentoo/SPARC Gentoo/AMD64 GPG: 0543 6FA3 5F82 3A76 3BF7 8323 AB5C ED4E 9E7F 4E2E - -----o()o---------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE7hlZq1ztTp5/Ti4RAiVVAJ9c6hRiZVNCGUMK4qWGdAeL8DPtHwCdEHE3 qfQ4oqDTQRAngNVz3qzNfIM= =3c1P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
