Who's interested in a bi-weekly open conversation about @thunderbird roadmap, upcoming features, wrong decisions, difficult efforts, and everything in between?

I'm planning a recurring AMA in which you can submit questions, even hard ones, and myself alongside other folks from the core team can answer.

Just because being open about what we're doing is cool!

@alecaddd @thunderbird first thing I want to hear is if Thunderbird will do the same thing like Firefox on data about the user, "sell it to others".

@madalinignisca @thunderbird Firefox is not selling data to others.
Anyway, the beauty of Thunderbird is that we're a separate entity and we can make our own decisions independently from Firefox.

@alecaddd @thunderbird I can't find yet clear information about this topic: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20

For some years after Opera was sold to some chinese company, I used Firefox and Thunderbird, donating yearly as a hope this two would be transparent and towards users. The recent noise, took me away to Vivaldi and probably will stick until Firefox will get free from the Mozilla organization which seems to go away from users and closers to corporations.

@madalinignisca @thunderbird I understand how the change in those terms look scary and strange. To me the real issue was the lack of upfront transparent communication before any change was made.
