Who's interested in a bi-weekly open conversation about @thunderbird roadmap, upcoming features, wrong decisions, difficult efforts, and everything in between?

I'm planning a recurring AMA in which you can submit questions, even hard ones, and myself alongside other folks from the core team can answer.

Just because being open about what we're doing is cool!

I can't find yet clear information about this topic: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

For some years after Opera was sold to some chinese company, I used Firefox and Thunderbird, donating yearly as a hope this two would be transparent and towards users. The recent noise, took me away to Vivaldi and probably will stick until Firefox will get free from the Mozilla organization which seems to go away from users and closers to corporations.


Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

Mozilla says it deleted promise because “sale of data” is defined broadly.

@madalinignisca I understand how the change in those terms look scary and strange. To me the real issue was the lack of upfront transparent communication before any change was made.

@madalinignisca The whole sentence is "there aren't many truly open source projects in spirit and practice that are like us".
"Like us" means that we are a corporation sustained entirely by donations, with a foundation above us to ensure openness and ethics are respected, servicing millions of users every month and competing directly against giant corporations.
Of course there are many FOSS projects, but not that many like us, and each is unique
