[Starlingx-discuss] Mission statement discussion - FEEDBACK NEEDED

Hi StarlingX Community,

I’m reaching out to resurface this conversation.

As a quick summary of where we are:

* We already had a a few conversations about the project’s overall mission. This is important to ensure the community has a clear direction to work towards.
* We highlighted the following focus areas:
  - StarlingX is a platform that supports deploying and operating both large data centers as well as geographically distributed systems on a large scale.
  - StarlingX is a platform that users can utilize to run their high-performance and real-time applications.
* We have three proposals on our etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/starlingx-mission-statement
  - We only have two votes so far to identify which option people like the most.


With the recent new interest in the project, I’ve received questions about the project’s mission and roadmap. People want to know where the project is going and how it will get there, which can help them to figure out if this is a platform that they can build into their own mission, strategy and use cases.

To move the conversation forward, I have a few questions to ask the community:

- Do you feel that any of the current proposals capture what you think the project’s mission is?
- Do you agree with the view on the project’s mission than what is described above and in the etherpad?
  + Or do yo have a different opinion to share?
- Do you have a proposal that is not a variant of the currently existing ones, and is not captured yet for consideration?
- What do you need to be able to join the conversation and vote on the proposals?


Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó

Additionally, I think it's important to highlight that StarlingX is not just solving a problem, but providing a practical solution for real-world use cases.
