 Hyperbola is using those three named dimensions already in many fields as for that matter we have also excluded packages and marked them as incompatible with our project-goals. As project we surely have interests on progression and technical enhancements. It would be a lie if we state the opposite. Nevertheless we do not see the solution to include even more software or not even question any included dependency. In fact we do the opposite: We try to exclude as much as possible or ask people to take over packaging, when they want named software included. Users are not only users within the perspective of Hyperbola: Everybody has the chance to be user, developer and also administrating person of the own systems running. **We call this technical emancipation!** Hyperbola is using those three named dimensions already in many fields as for that matter we have also excluded packages and marked them as incompatible with our project-goals.

 +And this includes also to question always the so-called "status quo", even on a daily base, to remove packages and software no longer following this way. Some may call this "exclusion", we call this "inclusion to preserve a clear freedom for people". The time for cheap and foul compromises is over in our perspective. As always you may see that different, but then Hyperbola is surely not the project and system to work with for you.

   * We do not include software for streaming data over the network. Please remember that data is needed to be saved somewhere and the more videos, music or other data is transferred, the more space is needed on server-systems and therefore more electricity with more attending clients is needed. It is a clear lie and illusion that anything is going better or more faster. In fact the data is only outsourced again, without any chance for users to get hands on it, to learn from, to modify and furthermore share their results.   * We do not include software for streaming data over the network.

 +  * We reject projects using questionable tools for communications and attend within company-driven annual meetings (Google Summer of Code). Hyperbola as project is opposing this trend where free, libre software is mistreated, especially when this is done also using tools offering so-called "community offerings" while selling part-wise, enhanced features. Either a software is fully offered and at maximum money is earned with support or the corresponding software is not free and libre, even when the source-code is available because in that point not all features are included.
   * We recognize topics in general and details always political and in many parts also driven by lobby-interests. This to be said is neither negative nor positive. But especially corporate interests driving free, libre software into the complete wrong direction, without any chance to make differences between its roots and what many people nowadays just define as "open-source". Hyperbola is active opposing that and reject lobbying in any form, but in special perspective towards our packaging and development. Meaning: If you want your interface, project and / or hardware supported, we check on our own and not just you paying us doing so.   * We recognize topics in general and details always political and in many parts also driven by lobby-interests.

 +  * We always look for clear oriented software to enable our users being not just passive and also create their own local infrastructure running. Any user can be also developer and administrator, learning and sharing information to others also. Just to keep open information away is not ethical in our perspective, when people can learn from it. Help yourself to help others. 
 +  * We want to offer every interested user the possibility to at minimum in absolute control of the own local installed system. Therefore we offer clear defined packaging and software without boundaries to any third-party service. 
 +  * We want that every person using Hyperbola as operating-system is under control of the own data. Therefore we ask back to give us feedback and help in the development of our packages. 
 +  * We want clearly **digital inclusion** as this is not just a phrase for us: Users will find help, can be sure that all provided software is only serving their own preferred way of working with it and can also use services concrete without any connection towards the global network in general. We see this as equal, safe and sensible use of software and we reject [[https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:philosophy:against_enforced_digitalization|enforcing digitization]]. 
 +  * We reject "progress" just to be defined as adding some newly created topics and combined projects with it. Software has no need to be always updated, it needs to be safe and secure. 
 +  * We always work with and for social values: Stating that everyone gets a warm welcome and inclusion, surely under the condition to work for democratic values. Stating a "Thank you" from time to time, to support others and answer questions is not only one task for some team-members. Giving the message that free and libre culture, software itself, is an essential value in Hyperbola as project. We do not want to make any difference for a majority or minority as this is no measured size for us. We look on individuals and values for equality and dignity, but also for the point that this is not self-evident. So we work daily on this as everyone else should also!

 +<note important>An important note about open data and information is that for Hyperbola direct private data is clearly not included. We appreciate the right to protect the own privacy. As some people nowadays seem not be able or willing to rethink and just take the point wrong, we need to define this here direct and clear. Also we do not recognize data and information open, when people or groups are clearly endangered.</note>
  
-In general said is Hyperbola not oriented on phrases defined by others and always give topics an own defined, closer look. If you see here issues, we are always open for constructive criticism and messages.+In general said is Hyperbola not oriented on phrases defined by others and always give topics an own defined, closer look. If you see here issues, we are always open for constructive criticism and messages. We have no interest in exclusion of beings, we have interest to exclude shortened phrases and too big designed software in general.
