Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
On behalf of the OI developers, I’d like to ask all the community
members and developers to complete a short OpenIndiana survey form
located at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1k2LNzxQxGdUZ7joL_tI3Aid_fzTGPxSDEAp83PbCmus/viewform"
class="">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1k2LNzxQxGdUZ7joL_tI3Aid_fzTGPxSDEAp83PbCmus/viewform</a>.

Even this one-time survey is Ok and wouldn't hurt to fill in, and I
urge others to do so, <br>
I would love to avoid using Google's oversight on data in the
future, whereas Google is omnipresent on internet and sites,
tracking visitors. It is always best practices to have forms
available on OI's project site in the future , to have data
gathering exclusively under project control, to enable privacy
protection.<br>
<br>
If you delete cookies and browser cache before going to the site and
filling in the form, then it is,sort of, Ok/better. Plus it is as I
see targeted to OI contributors and not widest audience on
openindiana-discuss.<br>

information will help us improve OpenIndiana.<br class="">
<br class="">
Completing this form should not take more than 15 minutes and will
help us tremendously, so I’d like to encourage all people on both
lists to participate.<br class="">
<br class="">
I’ll leave the form open till the end of August 2016.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks for all answers!

General internet privacy notes (from me, in general):<br>
I suggest to in everyday use, one uses the combination of 3 Firefox
addons to avoid constant Google tracking: <br>
Noscript - blocks all Google (not blocked by default) and other
scripts, but those turned on for visiting sites, temporarely - needs
some sort of user selection what scripts to turn on and when ; <br>
Ghostery - source-visible, invisible tracking protections ; <br>
Self-destructing cookies - destroys cookies after closing tabs or
browser, not letting other sites use them to track you ;<br>
And sometimes, clearing on-disk cache and all cookies.<br>
<br>
That being said, if you don't have site-visiting tail like
explained, then it's Ok to use Google form from time to time, or
even with using some http proxy, since it's wouldn't'e tie yourself
to the data in the form if cookies and cached content are deleted
before and aferwards. <br>
<br>
It is not the problem if project like OI acquire data , people
should contribute to the project sharing it to make Openindiana
better, sharing user's data with Google is clearly not the best way
to protect user's interests. it is just important to see that same
can be achieved putting form on the Oi's own site and that Google
forms are rather not needed and it is also good to consult others
when taking distro-wide action, together with sort of all possible
interpretations of data/results and having records available within
project boundaries at all times.<br>
