We are writing a larger project of the FreeBSD culture and have now come to a point in our analysis, where we are supposed to reveal our "conclusions" to the organisation we have researched, and then see how they respond to that. So thats it! They might seem a bit obvious and commonplace, but just say how well and correct they seem to you. It should be said that I have translated them from danish into english, and therefore something might seem a little weird, but I hope it is understandable. That we use "We" in our statements should be understand as "the FreeBSD organisation" and not "we" as in my group. Behind these statements we have a lot of other data describeing your culture. These are just the "short conclusions", so anything you might think of as part of the culture, should hopefully lay beneath these statements in some way. Thanks for your co-operation :-) -If you want to be seen and get status, you have to show what you are good at -We are the helpfull faceless people -In the end, it is the code that matters most -We want to share our knowledge with others -We control each other regarding to a set of norms, standards and guidelines -Wisdom and truth is defined by the experienced members Regards, Jeppe W.
