I was recently sending out some emails to potential local meetup venues and I was looking for an official 1-2 sentence paragraph explaining the software that I could use as a starting point in my emails to explain the meetup group.

I noticed that the wordpress.org home page (and the entire site that I could tell) does not actually say what WordPress is. There's a lot of examples of what it can do or how it can be used, but no boiled down factual summary of "what is WordPress?". If I were someone who had no idea what WordPress was and landed on the home page, I'm not sure I'd be able to figure that out. Even on the about page, the Our Story section is a bit vague on these details.
