I am staunchly opposed to LO shipping with any sort of data collection by default. It's better not to have user metrics then to install spyware.
I would only accept something which meets the following criteria: 1. An add-on; not included in the default installer. 2. Not directly suggested to users upon installation (i.e. no "Would you like to help us blah blah blah?" which installs the spyware; that's manipulative). 3. Every single transmission of data requires explicit authorization, with a review dialog that gives a good enough idea of what data is transmitted. Alternatively, prominent visual indication on the LO windows that activity info is being gathered. 4. Personally-identifying information scrubbing mechanism, before transmission. 5. Easy to remove the spyware. Will try to make the meeting. Eyal PS - Once you install spyware, the tendency is to spy on more and more activity. Let's not go down that road.

Hi all, this is a very early invitation to a meeting in two weeks, which hopefully allows you to schedule this slot. PolyPoly [1] is a start-up company with the goal to collect user data in a fair and transparent way and to allow combining information by keeping full control. Bjoern had a talk at the LibreOffice conference and recommended it for LibreOffice. In fact we need user metrics for various questions, for example the default UI [3], while we clearly have problems with representativity in own surveys [4]. The plan for this meeting is to collect ideas, outline areas for investigation, and prepare the next steps. As always: Everyone is welcome to join the call and share their opinion. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July/13, 20:00 CEST/GMT+2 resp. 6pm UTC at https://jitsi.documentfoundation.org/design.
