    Hi Maxi,<br class="">
    I love the constructive research that you have started here.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Email privacy was not as topical when foss4g email lists started
    getting collected, and tracing technologies such as mail chimp were
    as assessable as mail chimp is now. So we are right to
    retrospectively develop our policy in this area.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    If you are up for it, I suggest following a similar process to what
    we did for getting the OSGeo Code of Conduct in place.<br class="">
    1. Research best practice policies. Find one that meets OSGeo
    community requirements (ideally addressing the majority of the ideas
    on this email thread)<br class="">
    2. Ideally find something that has been adopted and maintained as
    best practice among many organisations. (This is the Open Source
    Way).<br class="">
    3. Reference it, copy it verbatim, tweak it, or collate with other
    sources, (possibly into a wiki page)<br class="">
    4. Propose to OSGeo community for adoption. Collate feedback, tweak.<br class="">
    5. Have OSGeo adopt the policy.<br class="">

      Hi,<br class="">
      <br class="">
      I wanted to share some thoughts, because I don't want that Maxi's
      concerns are buried under lots +1's, that "we are just doing our
      best for a successful FOSS4G". Maybe Maxi's initial email was a
      bit strong and contained the  "LocationTech" keyword ;-)<br class="">
      I don't think anyone (and for sure not Maxi) wants FOSS4G or OSGeo
      not to be successful, and nobody is against marketing. <br class="">
      <br class="">
      However doing something with good intent doesn't mean, that it's
      right, right?<br class="">
      If there is a privacy policy, we need to respect it and handle
      personal data (like email addresses) accordingly. If there is no
      privacy policy, we probably should have one, because there are at
      least a few countries I know, where not being able to opt-out or
      receiving unwanted emails can become a legal issue quickly (and
      cost money).<br class="">
      <br class="">
      I remember a few months ago the discussion about Code of Conduct,
      where some people thought, we don't need that, because we're
      well-educated and friendly people, respecting each other, etc.. A
      code of conduct wasn't something I cared about that time, because
      maybe it's not common in countries where I live. But I learned,
      that it's an important document for North American countries. And
      I think the privacy topic is a widely discussed issue in European
      countries, and we have some lessons learned about
      services/organizations trying to track us. <br class="">
      So that's maybe the reason, why some are not so happy to click an
      encrypted link with tracking ID (and whatever else). While I think
      you already get tracked, when you open the email and the
      transparent image gets loaded.<br class="">
      Speaking as a Japanese citizen, it's even seen as bad practice
      here to sent HTML emails, so almost every commercial email is text
      only with beautiful ASCII art and is really hard to look at.<br class="">
      <br class="">
      While reading this thread I had the following questions actually:<br class="">
      - Is the collected database of email addresses available on
      request for every local chapter?<br class="">
      - If a local chapter passes it to some third party organization
      (in this case LocationTech, but replace it with any other name),
      what happens with these addresses later? Are they now merged with
      the "LocationTech Tour" database or the whole Eclipse address
      pool, etc.?<br class="">
      - If I didn't open my email, because I'm not from North America,
      will I be removed from the database and future announcements?<br class="">
      <br class="">
      I think most email addresses collected from further events were
      for registration purpose. There is no way to register without
      giving OSGeo an email address.<br class="">
      And even if we won't harm anyone, we didn't ask those people, if
      they would like to opt-in for a newsletter-like service. <br class="">
      So I find it somehow OK (gray-zone) to use the existing address
      collection for marketing future global FOSS4G events (it's only
      once a year), but you need to understand that FOSS4G NA is a
      regional event, and that the emails probably haven't been filtered
      by region. If we continue this practice, will then every local
      FOSS4G be able to spread the word in the name of OSGeo using a
      collected address list of the past 10 years?<br class="">
      <br class="">
      Personally I think, that as a community we can do much better
      marketing than using MailChimp.<br class="">
      Maybe it's a good idea to add an opt-in form to FOSS4G
      registrations, where people can sign up for event announcements,
      even with regional preferences eventually?<br class="">
