Ah, I didn't realize pypi was already collecting py2 vs py3. That saves
having to split artifacts.

I think the goal is to get more/orthogonal coverage than a twitter
poll or waiting for users to speak up
Agreeing with many things here and my own flavor to the points:
1. User's privacy is more important than anything else
2. The goal should be to make things better for users
3. Trading user's opt-in for functionality (like Gradle scans) is not
acceptable
4. It should be effectively invisible to user
Creating a central place for collecting Beam usage sounds compelling, but
we'd have to be careful about several aspects:
- It goes without saying that this can never be on-by-default, even for a
tiny fraction of pipelines.
- For further privacy protection, including the user's PipelineOptions is

One of the options could be to just display the URL and not to phone home.
I would like it so that users can integrate this into their deployment
solution so we get regular stats instead of only when a user decides to run
a pipeline manually.

I think the goal is to lower the barrier of entry. Displaying a URL to
click on while waiting for your pipeline to start up, that contains
all the data explicitly visible, is about as easy as it gets.
Remembering to run a new (probably not as authentic) pipeline with
that flag is less so.
On Tue,
I'm with Luke on this. We can add a set of flags to send home stats and
crash dumps if user agrees. If we keep code isolated, it will be easy
enough for user to check what is being sent.
One more heavy-weight option is to also allow user configure and persist
what information he is ok with sharing
Why not add a flag to the SDK that would do the phone home when specified?

A survey would be a good place to start. This came up in the
python2-sunsetting thread as well: we don't know what versions of python
people are using with Beam, which makes it difficult to answer the question
of support.

Hi,
At the moment we don't really have a good way to collect any usage
statistics for Apache Beam. Like runner used etc. As many of the users
don't really have a way to report their usecase.
How about if we create a feedback page where users can add their pipeline
details and usecase.
Also, we can
