Thats exactly what he didnt want. He didnt want to feed skynet. Of course he also didnt want that you feed it for him with the data he provide to anyone.
Would be really great if some free software running on the coreboot servers is been used for coreboot polls.

Hey Talidan,> If someone wants to suggest a different site for doing polls, I'd be glad to take a look, but I'm probably not going to change away from Google forms unless we find something comparable. It's easy to make the forms, easy to take the poll, and easy to collect, analyze, and view the data. As a compromise, for future polls that I send out, I can send out a list of the questions out to the mailing list as well. If people want to just email me responses, I can fill them into the form on their behalf. That way you don't have to deal with the site, but we can still use something that's easy to work with. Would that work for you? Martin On Fri, Mar 3, 2017 at 3:03 AM, > Taiidan@gmx.com> <> Taiidan@gmx.com> > wrote:

I know many people have some strong feelings about this one way or the other. Right now we're just collecting data on how people feel about it, and looking for suggestions on ways to either improve the mailing list or set up a well-run forum.
Here's the poll about the switch. I will close the poll tomorrow, March 3, 2017.

Thank you for reminding me.
For future reference I would really prefer a non-google poll - the use of google services requires javascript and I don't like enabling javascript due to how easily exploitable it is. I also do not like contributing to machine learning or advertising databases.
As I have said before, most forum software discriminates against people who do not wish to run a window manager and of course javascript which is why I think things are fine as they are.

I appreciate martins offer but yeah that would be even better. An open source community shouldn't be using closed source stuff.
Wasn't Martin suggesting to add the results to the poll anonymously, without revealing the originator's identity?
Come on, guys, Google is a major contributor and benefactor of coreboot, give it some slack! ;)

I hate to sound like a jerk, but your opinions about coreboot's forum have absolutely zero value to any prospective advertiser. If this subject is important to you at all I suggest setting your ego aside and doing the poll Martin set up. Then you can get back to moving markets with your brilliant insights on other matters.
