They've done it before. Besides, even the original proposer has already backed-off of being so hard-line.

We still have 18 days to go, but I'm sure the community has already spoken on this matter. If anything, this shows that Fedora Linux is truly a community thing and not just some Red Hat project. This is how the company wanted things years ago when they discontinued Red Hat Linux, so there shouldn't be any bitching on that front either.

Kudos to Matthew Miller for doing the official poll too. I really do hope people spread this message along as much as they did with the "sky is falling" nonsense that's been coming out lately.

It's a Fedora publication. There doesn't need to be a lot there. Not everything is some juicy story. It's meant to be a simple piece of information.

If you'd like to post some other content, feel free to contribute in a constructive manner. We could always use some more.

I'm really not sure what problem this is supposed to solve. Anyone can fork the current source. People don't care about forks, they want RHEL.

You're working on troll status here. This is the regular Fedora Community Blog. A pretty standard thing.

Not sure how that relates. GNOME is not a single person working on one thing. This is a minimal sort of change too.

Not sure how that's doing any part, but no need to troll. If you want to use Debian, just go use it.

You can walk and chew gum at the same time.

The issue is resolved by my proposal.

I am someone who would turn it on to help the project, but I do understand the concerns of those who want this to be opt-in. My recommendation is for no default behavior whatsoever. A great compromise is an explicit two button option that cannot be skipped by the user. One button sets telemetry on, while the other sets it off. This seems to be a great compromise, without any default behavior.

Cassidy James Blaede suggested some excellent wording in his post. I am in favor of that or something similar.

I think the least contentious thing for both sides talking would be to have a mandatory screen that asks if you'd like to do it or not. No passive opt-in or opt-out/default behavior, but instead two buttons that make you explicitly make the choice.

Like I said, it's being discussed on Fedora Discussion right now. Feel free to join.

This is not yet planned. This is a proposal. Lots of us are discussing it on Fedora Discussion. Perhaps you'd like to join us?
