[Board] updating about the foundation web page

[Jody Garnett]

A note on the approach - ie what are these vision/mission/goals for?

We are update the foundation vision, mission and goals to coincide with the
tenth anniversary of our foundation on Feb 4th.

We know the goals are aspirational - we want them to last us another ten
years.

If you are concerned that the goals are aspirational please consider that
measurable / concrete tasks form the bulk of the 2016 Strategic Plan. These
yearly plans always need to be grounded out in our foundation goals to
ensure we are heading in the right direction.
