Hello ,

Would someone please take a gzipped mysqldump of the spreadfirefox database and make it available for download @ willow.mozilla.org/home/paul

Thanks, Paul

Better idea ..

Perhaps we should automate this procedure and set up a weekly cron which takes a gzipped mysqldump of the spreadfirefox database on stage (which always mirrors closely what is on production) and
make it available for download @ willow.mozilla.org/home/paul.

In the exceptional case (if ever) when i need what is on production right now i can then make a request for that.

Thanks, Paul

I need to check to see if this is proper.  Paul -- have you signed any contributor agreements with regards to disclosure of information?

I have not signed anything personally but i belive that the company (Glaxstar) that i work for has an agreement with Mozilla. 
 
@Ian
Would you help Mike out he is not sure if our working arrangement is proper, thanks.

Thanks, just that the act of giving a complete database dump that has user information in it can't be taken lightly.  If you haven't signed something, I'll get it to you.

Please reopen if you work out the access to this, Paul/morgamic.

@ Morgamic.

Glaxstar has an NDA with Mozilla but I do not think it covers end user data in terms of privacy policy.

However, the principle I see here of course is that Paul has had for many years free and open access to this data anyhow while fulfilling a developer role for Spreadfirefox so I think this is a legal technically I can't readily answer.

I think its right that we make sure that up-to-date agreements are in place.

We've signed a general code commit agreement many moons ago, we have not signed the more recent code commit agreement that was available at the recent summit as I didn't make it there in the end.
