| [technology-pmc] Approval for installing a heartbeat in Code Recommenders for Luna |
| Dear Technology-PMC, following the calling home policy published at [1], I’m asking for you permission to integrate a heartbeat feature into Code Recommenders for Luna. What we’d like to do is to send an HTTP request to some server at eclipse.org containing a "machine-id“ (i.e., a SHA1 of the machine's mac address) every now and then and qualify code recommenders model downloads with that machine-id too. The UI asking for the user’s permission will likely look like a simple popup that, when Code Recommenders is activated, asks the user for permission to send the heartbeat/machine-id information. What’s the purpose? We want to know how many active users we have and which API’s they use. That information helps us to optimize our offering and - to be clear on that - will help/enable us to raise funding for further research in this area. Technology-PMC, such a calling home feature needs your and EMO(ED)'s approval. Does the Technology-PMC approve this proposal? Best, Marcel |
