Topic: Polypoly
* Introduction
+ https://polypoly.org/en-gb/
+ founded May/4th 2019 with the purpose to empower end users to reclaim
their data.
+ main problem with data is that we send data to 3rd party companies and
we have no rights on it
+ goal is to store data locally (on the edge) and let algorithms evaluate
those data and share only the results
+ European cooperative "COOP" https://polypoly.coop/en-de/
+ first release available for Android/iOS is able to bring the data of
Facebook and google back to the user (as copy in the moment). The data
will be explained to the end user in a way that also non tech people
are able to understand what the net knows about them.
+ next step is to integrate open source projects
* Scenarios
+ surveys such as
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2021/10/18/results-from-the-survey-about-libreoffice-calc/
are completed by
tech-affine people with some expertise "...mid-age (65% between
33 and 65 years old), technology-affine (60% use Linux as operating
system), and power users (45% run the application every day)"
+ anecdotal reports to judge on enhancement requests such as
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135501
(Change the default UI)
+ missing knowledge, eg. how many individuals run LOOL/COOL, meaning have
configured the environment first
+ answers to questions like "what action comes most often before undo" has
huge potential for improvement
+ personas should be based on facts (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org
/Design/Guidelines/HIG_foundations#Persona)
* Existing code
+ initial steps have been done
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/OpenOffice.org_User_Feedback_Extension
+ UI setting removed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/119166
for bug 140107 but code still at sfx2/source/control/unoctitm.cxx
collectUIInformation(), see also bug 96434
* Questions
+ wouldn't it be better to not collect data at all (rather than doing
the PP approach)
+ open source community tried with Discourse, for example, but better
we reclaim data; data is key for many questions; PP is neutral and
transparent
+ PP does not own the data; PP is a cooperative, all income will be shared
+ is PP open source / what license
+ yes, dual-licensing
+ what would be the scenario when PP becomes included
+ probably a question "Do you want to share data..." as opt-in
+ amount of data is frightening
+ 10 years of extensive Google usage is about 100MB
+ an option might be to keep raw data for only a short period and
condense then
+ feedback channel, something that allows the individual to compare with
the average
+ could be something for the future
+ include questionnaires for example to split user types
+ demographics are included already
+ identification with brands is built-in
+ any legal constraints
+ LibreOffice sends crash reports to TDF
+ who is doing the coding effort
+ research and testing needed to improve the PP AI
+ integration needs to be done together afterwards/in parallel
+ what are the next steps
+ involve the ESC
+ write a blog post and involve the community
