Present: Bjoern, Thorsten, John, Cor, Eyal, Heiko Topic: Polypoly * Introduction + https://polypoly.org/en-gb/ + founded May/4th 2019 with the purpose to empower end users to reclaim their data. + main problem with data is that we send data to 3rd party companies and we have no rights on it + goal is to store data locally (on the edge) and let algorithms evaluate those data and share only the results + European cooperative "COOP" https://polypoly.coop/en-de/ + first release available for Android/iOS is able to bring the data of Facebook and google back to the user (as copy in the moment). The data will be explained to the end user in a way that also non tech people are able to understand what the net knows about them. + next step is to integrate open source projects * Scenarios+ surveys such as https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2021/10/18/results-from-the-survey-about-libreoffice-calc/ are completed by
tech-affine people with some expertise "...mid-age (65% between
33 and 65 years old), technology-affine (60% use Linux as operating
system), and power users (45% run the application every day)"
+ anecdotal reports to judge on enhancement requests such as
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135501
(Change the default UI)
+ missing knowledge, eg. how many individuals run LOOL/COOL, meaning have
configured the environment first
+ answers to questions like "what action comes most often before undo" has
huge potential for improvement
+ personas should be based on facts (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org
/Design/Guidelines/HIG_foundations#Persona)
* Existing code
+ initial steps have been done
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/OpenOffice.org_User_Feedback_Extension
+ UI setting removed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/119166 for bug 140107 but code still at sfx2/source/control/unoctitm.cxx collectUIInformation(), see also bug 96434 * Questions + wouldn't it be better to not collect data at all (rather than doing the PP approach) + open source community tried with Discourse, for example, but better we reclaim data; data is key for many questions; PP is neutral and transparent + PP does not own the data; PP is a cooperative, all income will be shared + is PP open source / what license + yes, dual-licensing + what would be the scenario when PP becomes included + probably a question "Do you want to share data..." as opt-in + amount of data is frightening + 10 years of extensive Google usage is about 100MB + an option might be to keep raw data for only a short period and condense then + feedback channel, something that allows the individual to compare with the average + could be something for the future + include questionnaires for example to split user types + demographics are included already + identification with brands is built-in + any legal constraints + LibreOffice sends crash reports to TDF + who is doing the coding effort + research and testing needed to improve the PP AI + integration needs to be done together afterwards/in parallel + what are the next steps + involve the ESC + write a blog post and involve the community
