#OpenUK is asking people to fill out their survey for 'state of open 2022'.
Just don't blame us for the fact they are using google forms for it hahahhaa
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdHXGAbW6P9EvIyR4KI_aQBKnQCMmQwrxf_9WPYg2HQvHY-7A/viewform
@afallen Have completed with the strong comment that they have undermined the whole exercise by using google docs
@davidoclubb @afallen Did you read their privacy policy? https://openuk.uk/privacy-policy/
@gruff @afallen It's certainly comprehensive....!! Can't argue that I'm not informed (though naturally I didn't read before completing the survey haha).
I think there is a bit of work for them there. No need to collect a lot of that stuff, and especially not google. Our website @afallen specifically doesn't use any trackers (for example)
@davidoclubb @afallen My de-googling is nearly complete. But at a cost. Anyway, there are references in that privacy policy about storing stuff on Google Drive!
@davidoclubb @afallen We are small too. We've a Nextcloud instance with 1Tb of S3 storage. Less than a tenner a month!
@davidoclubb @afallen We're a small retail shop. I use OVO for the Linux instance which runs Nextcloud. The basic option runs fine for our needs. https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/vps/
@gruff @afallen That's a top tip. I use Hetzner that I think is probably similar https://www.hetzner.com/
What's the shop?
@davidoclubb @afallen https://www.cookability.biz but that's running on a different host. :)
@davidoclubb @afallen My host supports the old long discontinued code running that site. But it's fine. Ever since Amazon decimated the independent marketplace.
I knew a bit of Linux before, actually going back to Xenix! But this was invaluable for me to get up to speed. https://www.learnlinux.tv/nextcloud-complete-setup-guide/
@gruff @afallen On the face of it #Nextcloud seems to be lacking a CRM app which is critical for our needs!
@davidoclubb @afallen There's always a curved ball! I guess you have checked out https://apps.nextcloud.com/
@afallen Lol ok I will fill it out anyway and provide personal feedback to them....
