Hi,
The list will be all availids.
Is that all emails people have subscribed to all lists or just certain lists?
Or something based on Apache IDs? Or what's recorded in LDAP? Each of this is
going to generate a different set of email addresses.
Some things that come to mind. Have these been considered?
- Some contributors do not have an Apache ID / are not in LDAP. (You get one
when you become a committer.)
- Some people have subscribed under multiple emails addresses to different lists
- Emails address people use are not always the ones recorded in ldap (see for
instance see the number of PMCs recorded as not signed up to their private
lists as reported by Whimsy, when they have just signed up via other addresses).
- People have multiple email address recorded in LDAP
If instance if I look myself up LDAP it has several email addresses for me, but
I also use other non recorded email addresses to subscribe to some lists.
There are numerous ways it helps spamming because for 1, people replying
with questions won't spm 7k other people.
We currently have 7131 committers, if you included contributors it would be
double that (or more). It’s still unclear how wide this group is that the
survey link will sent to using this method. When sending to a list the reply to
address could be set so that people don’t spam each other. I assume we would
want replies to go to the dev@diversity list, if people have any questions
about the survey or are having trouble filling it in we can answer them.
There are 26,971 contributors in the past year. We have this data
available, including most of their email addresses. Whether we choose to
spam/ham them (depending on your view) is another matter :)
Infra will generate the list. I expect it to be a trivial ldap to csv.
Our contributors are not (that I’m aware) stored in LDAP, only committers are.
For the social media and pmc posts, we would use a single reusable survey
token.
So we are posting to the lists as well? It might be best to put exactly what
the plan is on a wiki page so everyone is clear what is expected to happen.
Thanks,.
Justin
