hi everyone, db.debian.org contains (optional) fields for the location of each developer, an information which currently is only used to generate edwards's fancy maps. there are other potential uses for this, like making it possible to find fellow debian developers at some place that you are going to for business or a vacation, and inviting them to a drink and some keysigning. imho this would be pretty cool, but brings with it a small problem: it would in effect make that information public, in the moment it is only accessible to debian developers.
therefore i would like to what you would prefer, especially if you are opposed to making that information public. the general options are: 1. just make it public (after a warning period), anybody who doesn't want that can delete his information from the database. my preferred option! 2. make it public, but reduce the resolution so that it's difficult to really find the person. not really usefull imho 3. extend the database to contain a new field that states whether the information should be public, public at reduced resolution or hidden from the public. this requires a change to the database which only few people can do, so i would prefer not so, please let me know what you think! -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
