GDPR Compliance Chat Recap – April 4

A table of contents of the needed information is present on https://github.com/gdpr-compliance/info/blob/master/information-resources.md . @idea15 started on some of them.
Some shorter/other texts will be needed to add to coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., but can then have links to the final privacy blogblog (versus network, site): WP default policy, text for new user registration and on user profile screen, technical text about the new functions for developer.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ , chapter in the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party handbook
After a chat with Mika, the guidelines for developers will be amended so that it's clear that plugins can assist in helping the site compliant but not that installing the plugin will make the site compliant.

@dejliglama reached out to the WhiP linking to make/core in their newsletter. There will be a longer piece later.
A paragraph was also create in the Month in WordPress of March
A proposal is to get a post out every 2 weeks with a major one on 25-May.
The roadmap can be used as a start, but might be slightly too technical for the broader public.

#43492 was discussed. Data is stored for telemetry but also to make sure websites have the correct (security) updates.
A site adminadmin (and super admin) should not have to opt-in, because having a WordPress site without security updates is not acceptable. But a combination of some data (like website URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org, IP, etc) might be seen as personal data.
More clarification is needed. @pento and @pesieminski should be contacted.

Design should arrive in the next days so Allen and Mike can start with the patches for their tickets.
