+# rusEFI Mission Statement
+
+We are so serious we even have a Mission Statement!
+
+rusEFI is a group of technology enthusiasts interested in creating a fundamentally _smarter_ open source ECU. As of 2021 we have build an amazing foundation but too many loose ends are still not as polished as they should be. As of 2021 rusEFI is more of a tinkering platform than a product.
