2. Project strategic goals:

1. AGREED: Undergo a revision of the project goals, to include a range of topics from

       technical to social/cultural. Do this work

transparently, reaching out to

      specific community members and stakeholders such as RHEL

Engineering.

The only current reference to "goals" on centos.org that I can find is in the about page: "...The CentOS Project is a community-driven free software effort focused around the goal of providing a rich base platform for open source communities to build upon...."

Can you clarify what you mean by "range of topics from technical to social/cultural"? Maybe using some examples?

I don't remember reading anything on the centos lists about anyone suggesting to refresh the goals; is it possible to know who decided that there was a need to refresh the goals: a) Red Hat, b) Karsten Wade, c) others (who)?

To me "transparently" means posting publicly about this on the centos-users list. Reaching out to specific members and RHEL engineering is the complete opposite of "transparently".

OTOH, I understand Red Hat owns CentOS, so you have the right to do whatever you want with it, but please, just be open and say "Red Hat decided this". Please, don't do what corporations usually do, when they first decide what is useful to them, and then they try to put it like they are doing it for the users.

Thanks
