Update on free software and telemetry
I work at GitLab. Support Engineering Managers were briefed about this a few days ago.From inside GitLab Slack:5d
Scott Williamson  We are not adding Pendo or Snowplow JS snippets to self hosted versions yet.  That will likely come in a second phase of the project, and we will figure out opt in/opt out for those scenarios before launching.  The reason we are communicating to those customers about it now is so we don't have to do the privacy policy change twice.  So for now it's just .com customers.  I will let @Tim Hey respond on where he would like discussion on this to go.5d
Support Engineer  Thank you @Scott Williamson, I was hesitant to ping you as I know your time is valuable, but I'm glad that I did.  :thank_you::thx::thankyou:5d
Tim Hey  Hi @Support Engineer Looks like @Scott Williamson just beat me to the it. :sweat_smile:5d
Support Engineer  You both are amazing and I can't thank you enough.5d
Tim Hey  Also if you are interested in the being part of the discussion when we build out the opt in for scenarios like this I'd love to include you. I believe Lee was interested.5d
Support Engineer  I'd love to be involved! If there's an opt-in or opt-out, it invalidates all the concerns I voiced here. Knowing this, I fully support the decision to add telemetry to self-managed and understand that it would be incredibly valuable for growth.41m
Support Engineer  @Scott Williamson @Tim Hey @supportmanagers We have a lot of upset customers thinking that GitLab self-managed telemetry will be mandatory for Self-Managed GitLab moving forward (no opt-out/opt-in) . We need an official response and Zendesk template to help manage the influx
