Should we do a review of GNOME apps to make sure they all comply where necessary? A GNOME Goal, maybe?That's a good question. The manifesto primarily refers to cloud providers, so I'm not really sure that we can put it into effect ourselves. However, what I would like to do is work on our own privacy policy (which we could implement), and to hopefully use that as the basis of collaborations with the user data manifesto people in the future. Also, we can help by doing marketing and promotional work, if there are announcements that we can recirculate and so on. That would be a good thing to talk to the Engagement Team about.
The manifesto does explicitly address cloud providers, but the points it raises are more generally applicable to all software which touches users’ data. At the very least, they provide a starting point for thinking about privacy improvements. I’ve created a proposal for a GNOME goal for reviewing modules for privacy.
