I think it means that we need to listen to and be accountable to our users. This means helping our users to get the most of our system, following up on bug reports, and improving the system to benefit them. Free Software is also a priority, so we should also ensure that we do not serve the needs of our users at the *expense* of Free Software, say, by authoring and shipping proprietary extensions to Free packages. -- G.
