    GDPR meeting in 3 minutes

  430. jonasw

    .

  431. jonasw

    🐈

  432. pep.

    Almost there!

  433. lskdjf has joined

  434. Ge0rG

    Uh-oh.

  435. pep.

    ! I'm here

  436. winfried

    so am I ;-)

  437. jonasw

    me 2

  438. Guus has left

  439. Steve Kille has left

  440. jonasw hands the gavel to winfried

  441. winfried bangs the gavel

  442. winfried

    I propose we take a look at LQ1 and subsequently continue filling the Wiki (though I have a little point we may have been forgetting)

  443. jonasw

    okay

  444. jonasw

    we aren’t lawyers, so how we’re supposed to deal with LQ1?

  445. winfried

    I must say, I haven't had time to update the wiki, don't know how up to date it is.

  446. pep.

    Sorry for the minutes last week, it's been a fun week

  447. pep.

    Maybe we want to start drafting a template data policy at some point?

  448. winfried

    pep.: I know the feeling... have double appointments on all days of this week

  449. winfried

    pep.: yes, I think so, but we first have to see what choices we can/have to make...

  450. Ge0rG

    I've had a chat with our GDPR expert, and he said that message content is similar to picture uploads. As long as we treat it as an opaque blob and don't analyze it, art9 doesn't apply. He is going to send me a reference to an according legal analysis some time today

  451. jonasw

    uh

  452. pep.

    nice

  453. jonasw

    that is amazing news.

  454. winfried

    Ge0rG: great

  455. jonasw

    --- except for your mod_firewall.

  456. pep.

    yes

  457. pep.

    I was thinking about that

  458. jonasw

    (which makes me wonder about bayes filters at big mail corps, but that’s another topic)

  459. winfried

    One reaction I got on LQ1 is art. 9.2e

  460. winfried

    but that one is without references

  461. Ge0rG

    From http://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/recital-51-GDPR.htm > The processing of photographs should not systematically be considered to be processing of special categories of personal data as they are covered by the definition of biometric data only when processed through a specific technical means allowing the unique identification or authentication of a natural person.

  462. winfried

    I propose to treat (for now) LQ1 as: "not subject to 9.1"

  463. rtq3 has left

  464. jonasw

    winfried, makes sense to me.

  465. Ge0rG

    winfried: 👍

  466. pep.

    mod_firewall is not making any derivative data from what it "analyses", and there's not way for us to know what triggered it right? I mean except it you log it

  467. jonasw

    with a huge "UNLESS you analyze the text in any way"

  468. Ge0rG

    jonasw: in a way that is allowed to extract art9 data

  469. Ge0rG

    jonasw: in a way that allows to extract art9 data

  470. winfried

    Ge0rG: +1

  471. jonasw

    Ge0rG, did you ask your GDPR expert about the fact that MAM archives are unencrypted and thus operators may access (advertendl@ or inadvertendly) message content which contains art 9 data?

  472. Ge0rG

    my mod_firewall isn't deriving information about sexual / religious beliefs, merely about mass-messages.

  473. jonasw

    Ge0rG, did you ask your GDPR expert about the fact that MAM archives are unencrypted and thus operators may access (advertendly or inadvertendly) message content which contains art 9 data?

  474. jonasw

    that was raised by Peter on list I think.

  475. Ge0rG

    jonasw: still pending.

  476. jonasw

    so you did ask, but not have a reply yet?

  477. winfried

    jonasw: does MAM have a consent mechanism? What is its default?

  478. Ge0rG

    jonasw: didn't have much time with him

  479. jonasw

    winfried, it is normally opt-in, except on Prosody ;-).

  480. pep.

    winfried, I don't think it has at all atm

  481. Ge0rG

    jonasw: we fixed that

  482. pep.

    jonasw, opt-in although most clients do it when available?

  483. jonasw

    winfried, it is normally opt-in (except on Prosody in the past ;-)).

  484. Ge0rG

    winfried: there is no GDPR data consent dialog when you enable MAM. Servers and clients will auto-enable it on first use, typically

  485. jonasw

    pep., yes, although that’s a problem of the client then.

  486. pep.

    yeah..

  487. Ge0rG

    so it's rather opt-out

  488. jonasw

    not conceptually, and not on the server side.

  489. marmistrz has joined

  490. pep.

    Ge0rG, you fixed that in what version of prosody, and when is it going to be deployed :P

  491. Zash

    Opt-in by server operator

  492. winfried

    This may be a point for an implementation guide.... or so

  493. jonasw

    winfried, indeed, it should be mentioned in the MAM XEP.

  494. jonasw

    pep., can you add that to the technical TODO?

  495. lskdjf has joined

  496. pep.

    that?

  497. Ge0rG

    winfried: except that users don't like consent dialogs ;)

  498. pep.

    Ah, MAM

  499. jonasw

    pep., "Add a note to the MAM XEP about GDPR consent requirements."

  500. lskdjf has joined

  501. Zash

    And clients don't expose the settings

  502. Ge0rG

    > pep., "Add a note to the MAM XEP about GDPR consent requirements." 👍

  503. pep.

    Ge0rG, well.. they'll have no choice, everybody will want to cover their asses now

  504. jonasw

    Ge0rG, that message did not follow my reactions draft format!

  505. jonasw

    I know because JabberCat didn’t show it properly ;P

  506. Ge0rG

    Zash: and the XEP doesn't provide a way to differentiate between "explicitly set" and "enabled by default"

  507. Ge0rG

    jonasw: you mean my quote-with-yaxim format that you shamelessly copied?

  508. winfried

    jonasw: fix JabberCat :-P

  511. jonasw

    ahm. let’s continue with on-topic *whistles*

  512. Ge0rG

    yes please.

  513. jonasw

    Ge0rG 2018-04-17T10:46:55.668869: > yes please. 🤦🏿‍♀️

  514. vanitasvitae has joined

  515. jonasw

    derp.

  516. Ge0rG

    jonasw: `2018-04-17T10:46:55.668869`, seriously?

  517. jonasw

    okay, so LQ1 resolves to "Not 9.1, unless you extract 9.1-ish data from it somehow"

  518. jonasw looks at the wiki to find gaps to fill.

  519. winfried

    I was wondering if file transfer needs a special status in the processings XMPP does...

  520. jonasw has left

  521. Ge0rG

    winfried: I don't think so. it's a direct client-to-client transmission, and the server only sees metadata

  522. Ge0rG

    Were we done with Q1.1d S2S?

  523. pep.

    Ge0rG, unless BoB?

  524. jonasw

    Ge0rG, uhm. In-Band Bytestreams, BoB, HTTP Upload

  525. Ge0rG

    I'm pretty sure we have all of that covered by "user content"

  526. jonasw

    so unless you happen to do TURN-less jingle (rather rare), I don’t see how that’s client-to-client.

  527. jonasw

    possibly

  528. Ge0rG

  531. winfried

    Ge0rG: adding that covers it all?

  532. Ge0rG

    winfried: it's in the wiki already

  533. winfried

    ah, switching back and forth on a small screen right now... (sitting in the middle of THE care ICT trade in NL right now)

  534. winfried

    Q1.1d s2s

  535. pep.

    hmm, there's a bit on 1.1d in the wiki, but that's not last week's

  536. winfried

    they are notes from earlier meetings

  537. pep.

    Also I propose we skip 1.1e, as I don't feel confident going into even more speculation

  538. pep.

    IANAL

  539. winfried

    looking at Q1.1d, I realized there are two things to cover

  540. vanilla has joined

  541. winfried

    the transfer of the data itself

  542. winfried

    and the processing of the data on the other server

  543. winfried

    both need a legal ground

  544. Ge0rG

    winfried: I'd argue legitimate interest of the user to get messages delivered, for both points.

  545. Ge0rG

    winfried: that also implies that the other data processor may not apply processing to the data that goes beyond what's needed for that legitimate interest

  546. alexis has left

  547. alexis has joined

  548. winfried

    Ge0rG: what article do you mean by legitimate interest?

  549. Ge0rG

    winfried: 6(1)b

  550. winfried

    Ge0rG: yes agree

  551. alexis has left

  552. alexis has joined

  553. winfried

    and agree to the limitation you mention

  554. pep.

    But we can't assume that can we

  555. Ge0rG

    For Q1.1e we should probably write down all these things into a data processing policy

  556. winfried

    Ge0rG: exactly, this something we should cover in Q1.1e

  557. winfried

    pep.: in some way we need to 'safeguard' we can assume this

    There might be server admins that will want to assume the worst and ask consent for most things

  565. Ge0rG

    pep.: for third-country servers, Art. 49(1)b should apply in the same way as 6(1)b for intra-EU

  566. winfried

    Ge0rG: +1

  567. Ge0rG

    I'm pretty sure we can say that the user has a contract with the server operator, and that sending data to another user on another server is part of the contract

  568. winfried

    Ge0rG: +1

  569. winfried

    Do we have Q1.1d covered like this?

  570. Ge0rG

    winfried: is incoming s2s different from outgoing s2s? What about spam protection?

  571. winfried

    That are two questions

  572. daniel has left

  573. winfried

    lets brainstorm on the first one first

  574. winfried

    outgoing: the originating server operator is responsible for the transfer

  575. Ge0rG

    Are there any restrictions on data imported from third countries?

  576. winfried

    Ge0rG: no, because the EU has the best data protection laws :-D

  577. pep.

    yet

  578. winfried

    so outgoing the operator wants to know the incoming server stays to the 'legitimate interest'

  579. Ge0rG

    But there is COPA!

  580. Andrew Nenakhov has left

  581. Ge0rG

    winfried: I don't think we can enforce any kind of remote server processing restrictions at the protocol / logical level.

  582. Ge0rG

    winfried: it might be sane to assume all data sent over s2s as "third country"

  583. Andrew Nenakhov has joined

  584. Andrew Nenakhov has left

  585. Andrew Nenakhov has joined

  586. winfried

    incoming: though you may have a different contract with your own users (e.g. we publish everything) you *have* to assume incoming limits to legitimate interest

  587. jonasw

    so no storage in MAM?

  588. winfried

    Ge0rG: no, that is something that needs to be legally enforced

  589. Ge0rG

    winfried: MAM is covered by legitimate interest of the receiver, I'd say

  590. jonasw

    even MAM forever?

  591. Ge0rG

    jonasw: how is MAM forever different from the receiver putting logs of the chat up into the cloud?

  592. jonasw

    it may not be

  593. Ge0rG

    jonasw: MAM is controlled by the user(s client)

  594. Ge0rG

    so from a legal PoV, the receiving user is responsible for MAM.

  595. jonasw

    and that’s what I’ve been saying a few weeks ago but I got shot down here :)

  596. Ge0rG

    jonasw: but not by me, as I do agree with that interpretation

  597. jonasw

    not sure, maybe I was simply unclear.

  598. winfried checks his guns if he accidently shot jonasw - oops, gun logs are purged

  599. Ge0rG

    so incoming s2s user data: might get stored in receiver's MAM

  600. Ge0rG

    also in offline storage, but I'd argue this is still part of the sender's legitimate interest

  601. winfried

    I am still chewing on: » [13:11:05] <jonasw> even MAM forever?

  602. vanilla has joined

  603. Ge0rG

    winfried: what's your issue with that?

  604. moparisthebest has joined

  605. winfried

    it is disproportionate in any way, but who's responsibility is it?

  606. winfried

    It is upon request of the user (hopefully)

  607. jonasw

    if it’s upon the request of the User, I’d argue that for the Purpose of storing the messages on the server, the User is the Controller and the Server (Operator) is merely the Processor.

  608. Ge0rG

    In theory, MAM should require consent from the user.

  609. ludo has left

  610. jonasw

    and thus it’s the users responsibility

  611. ludo has joined

  612. Ge0rG

    jonasw: that means the user needs to have full control over the data processing, including a way to purge the data.

  613. pep.

    As long as there is consent I don't think it's disproprotionate. Now, that means we also need to provide means to alter this history?

  614. Ge0rG

    pep.: consent from the receiving user?

  615. winfried

    user can't be the controller (in the legal sense) but a controller may process when the user wants him too

  616. pep.

    Ge0rG, or just prune parts

  617. jonasw

    Ge0rG, we need that for MAM anyways, I think?

  618. pep.

    Ge0rG, yes receiving

  619. jonasw

    tombstoning is at least provisioned. purging everything *up to a date* is possible, too.

  620. winfried

    yes

  621. Valerian has joined

  622. Guus has left

  623. Ge0rG

    jonasw: will MAM auto-purge if you disable it?

  624. jonasw

    Ge0rG, I sure hope so :)

  625. pep.

    I find tombstones useless, as it will only be for this particular user, the rest don't have to respect that, but well. purging has different use-cases

  626. jonasw has left

  627. winfried

    Ge0rG: that should be added to the MAM-XEP too...

  628. Ge0rG

    winfried: I tend to agree.

  629. pep.

    Is there a way to disable even

  630. pep.

    Also MAM MUC is separate right?

  631. Ge0rG

    pep.: yes

  632. Ge0rG

    and yes

  633. rtq3 has joined

  634. winfried

    On a MAM MUC: policy of publishing logs should be published

  635. vanilla has joined

  636. pep.

    winfried, publishing as in http-like?

  637. pep.

    Or just providing MAM for other participants

  638. winfried

    pep.: yes

  639. Ge0rG

    winfried: MUC MAM should mimic MUC access.

  640. vanilla has joined

  641. winfried

    like: XSF Discussion | Logs: http://logs.xmpp.org/xsf/ | Agenda https://trello.com/b/Dn6IQOu0/board-meetings

  642. Ge0rG

    not sure if more hints are needed there.

  643. lnj has joined

  644. pep.

    Yeah I agree with Ge0rG on that

  645. pep.

    should we plan for next?

  646. Ge0rG

    yes please.

  647. winfried

    I would argue that it is not obvious that the logs are published and it is not necessary for 6.1b

  648. Ge0rG

    winfried: I think that like with MAM, this is a client UX todo

  649. Ge0rG

    so should be a tech todo for us

  650. daniel has left

  651. andy has left

  652. pep.

    Ge0rG, hmm, publishing logs publicly (or even with some kind of auth) is server policy

  653. Ge0rG

    also please put the "spam handling" question on our TODO for next

  654. winfried

    Ge0rG: +1

  660. Ge0rG

    > If the user is entering a room in which the discussions are logged to a public archive (often accessible via HTTP), the service SHOULD allow the user to enter the room but MUST also warn the user that the discussions are logged.

  661. andy has joined

  662. winfried

    (Yes, I can live with a tech todo on announcing log publication)

  663. jonasw

    winfried, MUC MAM access should be clearly defined (tech TODO), and there’s a presence status code for public logging (some clients already show that)

  664. Andrew Nenakhov has joined

  665. Holger has left

  666. pep.

    Ge0rG, yes, so that's handled already which is good, but it is a concern

  674. pep.

    Fine by me

  675. winfried

    jonasw: Friday 16:00 CEST?

  676. pep.

    The spam handling question is in relation to 9.1 right? or not just?

  677. andy has left

  678. winfried

    pep.: yes, we may enter the realms of 9.1 there, but we may also run into some different issues, like automated decision making

  679. winfried

    (to add more fun to it....)

  680. pep.

    Does that fall under anything? it's "analysing" right?

  681. pep.

    I mean worst that can happen to that is 9.1 right?

  682. jonasw

    winfried, hm, that’s tricky for me

  683. jonasw

    but I can arrange that once

  684. winfried

    jonasw: If possible, that would be great

  685. jonasw

    okay

  686. Ge0rG

    pep.: the question is probably whether we can do spam detection without going outside of 6.1

  687. jonasw

    will do

  688. pep.

    Ge0rG, yeah

  689. winfried

    jonasw: thanks

  690. pep.

    We should also try to see where we are with the goals at some point, regarding the "deadline"

  691. pep.

    Fri 1600CEST it is then

  692. pep.

    *bang*

  693. winfried

    I think we are chewing away slowly

  694. winfried

    but doing a great job, bit by bit things are getting clear

  695. winfried

    and I think we are closer then we expect!

  696. pep.

    I should try to come up with some requirements for the EULA XEP

  697. winfried

    keep up the job!

  698. pep.

    I have no idea what to use protocol-wise, but we can do that later

  699. winfried

    pep.: yes, think we are about at that point, Q1.1e

  700. Ge0rG

    pep.: I thik we should first create the general EULA/ToS structure, then see which parts of it need encoding

  701. winfried bangs the gavel once again, good work guys!

  702. Ge0rG

    There is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3P

  703. pep.

    nice

  704. pep.

    I wonder why that is "obsolete"

  705. winfried

    yes, it is, but probably an overshoot for our purposes

  706. Holger has joined

  707. andy has joined

  708. pep.

    "[..] P3P has not been implemented widely due to the difficulty and lack of value."

  709. winfried

    it is hard to uniquely encode legal stuf to computer code

  710. pep.

    Lack of value as in, every website has a privacy policy?

  711. pep.

    right

  712. winfried

    no pressing legal needs, not high enough fines ;-)

  713. winfried

    the GDPR may resurrect it...

  714. pep.

    nah I think everybody's got their own framework nowadays

  715. pep.

    from what i heard they need to enable tls for a particular peer domain. but that was ~5 years ago

  1145. Maranda

    fippo, and they don't enable it on cisco.com ? lol

  1146. waqas

    I think he means they need to enable it for your domain

  1149. Maranda

  1150. fippo

    cisco.com admins have to enable tls for your domain.

  1151. Maranda

    cisco.com *IS* the domain

  1152. fippo

    you run cisco.com?

  1153. Maranda

  1156. Maranda

    (via s2s)

  1157. Maranda

    (and viceversa)

  1158. fippo

    so cisco.com will look at your domain, check its config "is this guy trustworthy to enable tls?" and probably not find anything

    You will be locked in a room along with a packet capture and not let out until you find the layer 8 problem in the encrypted stream.

    I'd love to know how to federate with Lync from my XMPP server. Or even how to login from XMPP as a given Lync user.

  1230. edhelas has left

  1231. moparisthebest

    the lync admins have to set up a special XMPP federation bridge

  1232. moparisthebest

    and in practice it seems no one does this

  1233. Dave Cridland has left

  1234. Ge0rG

    What if our Lync is hosted in O365?

  1235. moparisthebest

    I used to have a lync transport from xmpp, using libpurple-sipe and such, but it broke years ago

  1236. Ge0rG

    libpurple. I'm not going down that road.

  1237. waqas

    MattJ: Had we succeeded in the Prosody-Lync bridge, or did we never manage it? I recall it being a works-with-ejabberd product, not proper XMPP.

  1238. moparisthebest

    ours is on O365 and federation is still something they have to turn on manually, maybe it's just an admin setting there? don't know

  1239. waqas

    IIRC it was sensitive to e.g., certain consecutive parts of the stream being in the same TCP packet or not, etc. Lots of other fun things we ran into. Skype for Business UX also is terrible.

  1240. waqas

    (dumb stuff like sending an XMPP message to someone wouldn't show a notification, so they'd never know)

  1241. Maranda

    🤔

  1242. moparisthebest

    all the time we get a popup in the corner 'PERSONX sent you a message [accept] [ignore]'

  1243. moparisthebest

    and then you click accept, and you don't see the first few messages they sent before you clicked accept

  1244. moparisthebest

    I honestly don't know how people think this is a good system

  1245. Maranda

    didn't you need some Lync Edge Server vattelapesca thing for xmpp federation?

  1246. waqas

    moparisthebest: Ask your admins :P

  1247. marc has joined

  1250. waqas

    We were annoyed enough that we were considering if it'd be saner to use a Prosody->SIP->Lync setup

  1251. moparisthebest

    we must use contractors for new development, contractors can have VPN access to our systems, contractors cannot have lync accounts, so we can't IM them

    I ended up setting up an IRC server and https://kiwiirc.com/ on a dev server :'(

  1262. Dave Cridland has left

  1263. Zash

    Jitsi?

  1264. moparisthebest

    doesn't matter, lync screen sharing and voip never works

  1265. moparisthebest

    we use webex for that

  1266. Ge0rG

    moparisthebest: screen sharing works well here, voip mostly

  1267. moparisthebest

    voip on lync has *never* worked for us, we use conference calls or webex

  1268. moparisthebest

    screen sharing used to work until about a month ago

  1269. moparisthebest

    then they decided to fix the terrible latency by reducing quality to a point where you can't read letters anymore

  1270. moparisthebest

    so, now it is also useless

  1271. waqas

    Ge0rG: An XMPP replacement wouldn't help. Those who could already jumped over to Slack (I know a few orgs which migrated to Slack from enterprise IM solutions).

  1272. waqas

    I think the Lync team has learned that given how their product is sold to enterprise exec teams, usability and quality doesn't actually impact the bottom line.

  1273. Ge0rG

    moparisthebest: hm. interesting point. I had bad lags with a coworker today, but I blamed his wifi

  1274. moparisthebest

    that seems correct waqas , it's just part of the exchange/outlook package

  1275. Ge0rG

    jjrh, and doesn't provide that much, spam wise for example Exchange doesn't support SPF, DMARC or DKIM iirc, only O365/OWA (Hotmail) does.

  1371. SamWhited

    protip: enterprises don't care at all how much it costs as long as they can get a demo, good support, and a fixed and predictable price that includes the ability to expand service in the future. $8 per seat is *nothing* compared to the cost of the paycheck of all the people who will have to set it up and deal with it.

    SamWhited, not at that level :P, infact you won't see a single ISP (beside Microsoft itself) ever deploying Exchange.

  1375. jjrh

    SamWhited, I mean I totally get that and i'm not suggesting enterprises deploy and support their own solution for chat, but it seems like $8 per seat (and their enterprise version is like $12) isn't a great deal when say https://about.mattermost.com/pricing/ has a $3.25 a seat and a 'custom pricing' for when you have a lot of users.

  1376. jjrh

    I dunno maybe mattermost sucks never used it

  1377. Maranda

    but of course 8*5000 = 40k so it's doable :P

  1378. Maranda

    12 per seat as well

  1379. SamWhited

    Does mattermost provide them with a person who flies out and does a demo?

  1380. SamWhited

    Do they provide SLAs? Really good tech support?

  1381. jjrh

    Probably

    I wonder how people will do with the recent Slack introductions

  1384. SamWhited

    I have no idea, they might, but the price just doesn't matter at all.

  1385. Maranda

    in terms of privacy

    I'd be curious how much profit slack is actually making. Maybe their pricing is to offset the free offerings and their hosting costs are dirt cheap so they don't really need many customers

  1389. Guus has left

  1390. SamWhited

    Also, places that used to buy from a previous job I was in did heavy risk analysis: will mattermost go out of business tomorrow and we'll have to switch again? Not likely, but maybe. Will Slack? Probably not.

  1391. Maranda

    (Like that a team owner or something has access to all the data, even private message)

  1392. SamWhited

    Do you not have that with mattermost? Because that's also a plus for slack in the enterprise space if so

  1393. Zash

    compliance logging and such, yeah

  1394. SamWhited

    But anyways, point was that price doesn't matter at all. It's probably not even part of their considerations. Stuff like that does.

    I'm not sure I would bank on slack staying in business. Chat is fickle, and a logical thing for voip providers to start selling.

    I would think that enterprises would be a little nervous about having their chat data hosted in datacenters they don't own. Maybe if you're dropping half a million a year slack will do whatever you want.

  1402. rtq3 has left

  1403. SamWhited

    Yah, that part is the tough one. Depending on who you are and what you do, a lot of places really have to have a behind-the-firewall version, which is why HipChat Server makes so much money.

    cisco also had some fancy stuff about full encryption (including search) for spark. selling point apparently

  1406. Dave Cridland has left

  1407. SamWhited

    oh nifty, I didn't know that; I really wanted to try to build something like that while at HipChat but couldn't convince anyone that it would be a selling point.

    Most BigCorp have adopted the cloud by now so on premise chat servers are only interesting for medical and military services now

  1442. jjrh

    They have adopted the cloud but their own cloud

  1443. jjrh

    and on premise is more "on our vpn"

    jjrh: not my experience with multiple big customers

  1451. jjrh

    Interesting. I would have thought there would be legal implications depending on where the server is located and a risk that the SAS company could be compelled to give up your data if they run into issues.

    Ge0rG: that's actually what I've found to be true for the most part. At ThreatGRID we couldn't do anything that wasn't a physical on-prem device because we serviced a lot of financial sector people, but at HipChat Server we *only* supported AWS, because basically everyone had their private networks hooked up to Amazon or entirely within Amazon.

  1455. Ge0rG

    jjrh: that was my initial guess as well, but if you are an international company, you are susceptible to the laws of whoever wants your data anyway

  1456. efrit has left

  1457. SamWhited

    So outside of finance and military stuff, everyone seemed to be fine with "private clouds"

  1458. Ge0rG

    "private" networks.

  1459. SamWhited

    They're private, because if they're not Amazon gets sued for billions of dollars. They have good insentive to make them as private as possible.

  1460. Ge0rG

    Yeah, seeing an enterprise with 100k+ employees fully embracing O365 made my head spin.

  1461. SamWhited

    0365?

  1462. Ge0rG

    Microsoft Office 365, the cloud offering

  1463. Zash

    0 or O

  1464. SamWhited

    ahh,

  1465. Dave Cridland has left

  1466. SamWhited

    I assumed you did not mean XEP-0365, or RFC 365, neither of which made sense but both of which I thought of in the context of this chat

  1467. jjrh

    But isn't the difference here that if you use slack they are running 100% of the show - today they might be on AWS, tomorrow on some other service, but you as a customer really don't have any say regarding that.

  1468. Ge0rG

    Zash: fix your font

  1469. SamWhited

    heh, they look completely different in my terminal and I still didn't notice that that was an "O"

  1470. Ge0rG

    Bummer.
