+Our **strategic goal** is to provide a unified software package for the storage, processing, 
+visualisation and analysis of scientific data that is reliable, performant and supported, 
+that is easy to use and obtain, and that minimises the computing resources needed to 
+achieve scientific results. The success of experiments and all ROOT users at large is 
+our priority.
