Hello, this is my point of view of 4-foundations:

 We not only share a common environment, we also share experiences, meals,
chats and sometimes some users are family or make their best friends around
community (this is my particular case)

We are always improving, if you see other distros packages, you will see
that many times they have old versions while we have *almost always* the
most new software.

I think this is not only about the environment. If you check our developers
list, artwork, translations, package and go on; you'll find also people who
leads Free/libre Software around the world. Be first is not only be at top
of some ranking, is also be first as a profetional, community and team.

Freedom is related to something like this "we have both packages
(free/libres and some non-free/libres)" *you are free to choose because is
your computer*.

FSF philosophy is not about "let the user choose", is more like "we choose
what you can and can not use". Fedora let the choice to the user... that's
what *freedom* really means.



Merry Christmas :)
