+The primary focus of the mission is to “__make accessible the sources, tooling, and assets to all members, collaborators, and the open source Enterprise Linux distribution developers to create
 and maintain 1:1 downstream derivatives.__” We stated this clearly in the OpenELA mission as we recognize the whole effort is built on this clear focus being successful.

-mission is clear. We know how it can be achieved. There's simply a lot of work to put the tools in place and pull the community together.

 point that it's beneficial to our community members. Once we get these documents fleshed out, the tools in place and the repositories completed, the project will be active and aligned with the principal OpenELA mission.
