Hey List, After thinking it over, I've decided that having a Privacy Policy for Smolt would be a great experiment as a community process. The rules are pretty simple. Mike McGrath is a BDFL (That is not a Braised Duck avec Foie gras sous Liqueur', as tasty as it might sound.) Decisions tend to get made by the people coding, but we are looking for input to see what people want out of Smolt. This way, we know what kind of information gathering is desired, and which kinds are considered too invasive. So I present two RFCs to you guys. The first is the actual Privacy Policy, which can be found here: https://fedorahosted.org/smolt/wiki/PrivacyPolicy It needs legal review, and has the word Fedora in it way too much. I think I might have been a bit to detail oriented, even for a New Englander, but I hope it agrees with everyone. Please remember to direct all your flames to noone@xxxxxxxxx ;-) Second is a request for a feature that came in today. One of the developers of kerneloops http://kerneloops.org/ wants to integrate kerneloops and smolt. kerneloops.org maintains a similar privacy policy to that of smolts.org, namely, they do not store IP address information. All submissions are anonymous. The integration would try to maintain anonymity as much as possible. Smolt would generate a secondary public UUID that is not mathematically related to the primary UUID. (They should both be random actually.) In technical terms, it would be the join key between a kerneloops.org record and a smolts.org record. In non technical terms, a kerneloops.org user could click on a link 'show me the hardware' and be directed to a smolts.org site with that hardware profile. Just as Smolt is an opt-in process, we would include a second opt-in for kerneloops. The rules would be the same. The only technical concern is that there would have to be some kerneloops related code embedded in firstboot. If Release People don't want to make this a standard package on every install, we'll have to do a bit of funny hacking, but let us know what we can do. So those are the two new RFCs.
