Maybe Maxi's initial email was a bit strong and contained the "LocationTech" keyword ;-)<br>I don't think anyone (and for sure not Maxi) wants FOSS4G or OSGeo not to be successful, and nobody is against marketing. <br><br>However doing something with good intent doesn't mean, that it's right, right?<br>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><br>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>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>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><br>While reading this thread I had the following questions actually:<br>- Is the collected database of email addresses available on request for every local chapter?<br>- 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>- 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><br>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>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>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><br>Personally I think, that as a community we can do much better marketing than using MailChimp.<br>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><br>Best regards,<br>Daniel<br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 18/12/15 01:09, Steven Feldman wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>+1,000,000 to what Paul has said <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I also passed the FOSS4G 2013 list (which included names for 2011 and previous FOSSS4Gs) to the 2014 team in the spirit of fraternal support to future FOSS4Gs, I believe that was the right thing to do even though we neglected to have specific opt in/out option.
