Subject: | [gentoo-project] Date-of-birth in developer applications |
Date: | Wed, 20 Jun 2018 08:16:10 |
Message-Id: | 1529482561.2506.17.camel@gentoo.org |
1 | Hello, everyone. |
2 | |
3 | I'd like to revive the topic of requiring date-of-birth for developers. |
4 | Currently, we 'require' this date in developer applications and store it |
5 | in our LDAP (it's not public). However, I'm not aware of any good |
6 | justification for collecting this kind of personal information. |
7 | |
8 | The Trustees are apparently 'researching' the topic since at least |
9 | Feb 2017 [1], and haven't reached anything yet [2]. In the meantime, |
10 | applicants are asked to provide their DoB with no clear explanation why |
11 | they need to do that or how it's going to be used (the last part of dev |
12 | quiz [3]). |
13 | |
14 | So unless someone can provide *a really good reason* to request this |
15 | kind of information, I'd like to propose that we remove the question |
16 | from the developer quiz, and remove collected birthday dates from LDAP. |
17 | |
18 | What do you think? |
