If we had a page in firstboot which turned on a cron script to HTTP POST that to a fedora infrastructure server, keyed off the smolt UUID on a weekly basis, I know I'd would opt in for sure, and I'm sure a lot of others would. The challenge here is to coherently explain to the user what's being sent, ensure privacy (you really don't want to send e.g. X window titles, and even process arguments can be sensitive). Also a challenge is that if you want to add something later you'd need some way to re-prompt the user which is kind of ugly. We should also probably restrict visibility of the data to aggregated only by default. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
