Hi Johannes and Lova,
The current reality is that the QGIS PSC is using Google infrastructure
(Google Drive, Google Mail, youtube channels; sometimes Google Meet)
quite extensively. It wouldn't be so easy to swap things out. In the PSC
meetings we use JITSI, but for the QGIS Open Day it is also Google
infrastructure, as it scales better for more users. We also use GSOC in
order to bring in new developers.
We know that some people don't like our usage of Google services, but we
also need to be pragmatic. Doing more things ourselves with open source
tools or other alternatives would be possible, but would mean that we
can spend less time directly on improving QGIS.
Greetings,
Andreas

Hi Lova,
if I understand it right, using smtp.gmail.com *will* send all mails
via Google. I don't know which SMTP host is currently used.
Looking at the MX records of qgis.org it seems like Google is used
already anyways so I might be barking up an old and rotten tree. :(
It really should not be any of Google's business when people
communicate with qgis.org addresses.
Thank you!
Cheers, Hannes

Dear Hannes,
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate that.
Does this mean that Gmail will be involved in all those mails?
I apologise for that. Indeed, we propose using smtp.gmail.com as
EMAIL_HOST instead of smtp to fix the email-sending feature since it
sometimes goes into the spam folder.
However, I think this won't change the account type because we use the
same as the current email and keep the part `@qgis.org` unless I'm
mistaken. But maybe my PR's name doesn't reflect that. For now, I will
update the PR and convert it to a draft.
Can't a OSGeo mail account be used instead?
I'm not sure of the answer to this, sorry.
Dear @Tim Sutton, could you please advise me on that? Thank you.
Best regards,
Lova

Hey Lova,
thanks for all your great work!
This caught my eye:
Use Gmail as the email provider [4]
Does this mean that Gmail will be involved in all those mails? I would
be strongly against proactively exposing any data to such a company if
not absolutely necessary.
Can't a OSGeo mail account be used instead?
It's bad enough that so much mail is already centralized and thus
available to a single party/company but as long as a user is not
willingly using Gmail themselves already, it would be great if Google
(or any other similar third party) was not involved in such mails.
Cheers, Hannes

Hello everyone,
I'm starting a new thread because the previous one exceeds the limit.
I've included for you a report which details the progress made this
week on the development of the plugin and feed website.
New PR for the plugins website:
* Use Gmail as the email provider [4]
* Set media and static path as the same as in production [5]
* Fix plugin detail rating [6]: this is a fix for #354 [7]
* Add local timezone to XML [8]: this is a fix for #353 [9]
New PRs for the feed website:
* Use Gmail as the email provider [10]
Next week, I will try to plan the deployment of some of these PRs. I
will also continue to implement the components developed by Kontur on
the QGIS Feed website.
Have a great weekend,
Lova
