2019-10-30 | GitLab pulls U-turn on plan to crank up usage telemetry after both staff and customers cry foul • The Register
'GitLab customers and even some staff were not pleased. '
'On 23 October, an email was sent to GitLab customers announcing the changes. '
'Further, GitLab will commit to not implementing telemetry in our products that sends usage data to a third-party product analytics service."'
'VP of product Scott Williamson announced on 10 October that "to make GitLab better faster, we need more data on how users are using GitLab". '
'GitLab has swiftly backtracked on plans to add telemetry services to track usage of its products. '
This has been an automated message.
A surprising development. I was going to eventually post a follow-up from my previous submission because I got an email on this topic.
Whatever happened to surveys and / or suggestions?
