There are aspects of our community's identity that go beyond the text of those documents, though those aspects could still be construed as interpretations of clauses in those documents. In this thread, we have seen views that are fiercely anti-promotion, and views that are in favour of very radical modernisations to our site. The community consensus seems to be that we want to promote ourselves, but we care more about providing quality information than do the people who designed sites like lxde.org (sorry to keep using that example). This consensus position is itself a value of our community, and an aspect of its identity. > >> Well Debian on its page doesn't mention it is Linux based or has > >> Linux kernel or at all word Linux. > > We have Linux, HURD and the FreeBSD kernel, though.
