When I saw the headline I wondered: what would it take to actually win me over?
I'd say that spinning GH back out with foundation support, and strong privacy protections, would be a solid start.
- ralph84 7y agoWhat about GitHub's current privacy policy do you find objectionable?
- rch 7y agoCurrently they mention that they collect "aggregated, non-personally identifying information ... about how our users, collectively, use GitHub", which is perfectly reasonable for a corporation providing services which many users consume at no cost. But if GH was under foundation control it would be nice if that same data were kept private.
- ralph84 7y agoThe privacy policies of Mozilla, Apache, and Linux Foundation say more or less the same thing. Do you have an example of a relevant foundation that doesn't collect information on their users? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/websites/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/websites/ https://apache.org/foundation/policies/privacy.html https://apache.org/foundation/policies/privacy.html https://www.linuxfoundation.org/cookies/ https://www.linuxfoundation.org/cookies/
- rch 7y agoI don't believe those organizations typically share that information with other corporations. Sorry if I've let this aspect overshadow the more general point of foundation control -- I was just trying to avoid a potential loophole in that hypothetical model.
