Re: [libreoffice-design] Some Feedback on the Metrics Tender

Hi,

I believe we should go with the same opt-out policy that Mozilla does
for its health report and crash reporter. In order to get a useful
amount of data that can be analyzed that will correctly represent the
user base of LO users, opt-out is the better way to go.

It would be good to know what policy that OOo used in 2009 when it
collected its data < https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Tracking_results >.

Regards,
Jay
