As part of the on-boarding process each Special Interest Group is expected to provide their mission/objectives. The CentOS Project itself doesn't currently have one. I'd like to rectify that. In part because I don't want to ask folks to do something we've not done ourselves. And in part because I find these sorts of statements somewhat handy.
Explaining the current role of CentOS within the ecosystem currently tends to point towards longer documents with useful details. A short but to the point Mission Statement could help provide a quick explanation of our objectives without the challenge of keeping the technical details up to date.
As members of the community, the board would like your help improving this draft statement to better reflect your understanding of the CentOS Project mission.
--- Draft Mission Statement
CentOS aims to make Enterprise Linux better by providing project resources for contributors with similar interests to collaborate or communicate about the experience for everyone within our ecosystem. Whether it is artwork, development, discussion, or troubleshooting - CentOS should provide a clear way to get involved for contributors of all skill and interest levels.

Initial discussion and board ticket : https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/85
I've not really seen any feedback on this. We're hopeful to get this text finalized in early 2023.
