TSC Voting: Show/Hide email in user profiles for StackStorm_Community Slack #45
Description
During one of the previous TSC meetings we stated that StackStorm community base will not be shared outside of the Open Source project. For example, it can be used to send an email newsletter about StackStorm release, User Survey, Community building or any StackStorm project news or updates.
However everyone StackStorm_Community Users Emails in Slack are currently visible to any Slack member.
From one side there might be cases when visible user emails in Slack can stimulate making the connections between the users or allow easier community building/interaction. From the other side anyone can join StackStorm Slack and parse the community emails for potential improper use (irrelevant marketing, spam, 3rd party product campaigns, research, parsing and selling the user base by bad actor).
@StackStorm/tsc please vote:
- Option 1 - Show users
emailfield publicly in Slack - Option 2 - Hide users
emailfield in Slack
