Any method is unlikely to reach all the users but posting in the website is a easy and public one. Do you have suggestions on doing it better?

All this isn't important for minor changes, but it is if anything major happens (like "we're going to sell your info to spammers/advertisers"). As said, it's that this is Fedora, so it's more a matter of giving the right example, but if it was e.g. a webshop it would be more important.
Fedora considering a new privacy policy Posted Jul 20, 2008 12:05 UTC (Sun) by rahulsundaram (subscriber, #21946) [Link] Fedora doesn't have email addresses of anything but a tiny tiny portion of it's users and they have their own right to privacy for not getting unsolicited email. Yes, you should be careful about changes to privacy policies and if you read the privacy policy of many websites, their policy does leave room for them to change it with some minor or no form of notification.
Fedora considering a new privacy policy Posted Jul 21, 2008 9:08 UTC (Mon) by i3839 (subscriber, #31386) [Link] To create a Fedora account you need to provide your name and email address. People who didn't do that won't care much about your privacy policy because you don't know anything about them. Getting an email for any small change to the policy would be annoying indeed, so make a distinction between changes that change the spirit of the policy and those that don't. For example Livejournal says: > If there is ever a change to how LiveJournal uses or intends to use > personal information, we will post that change to this policy and, > if the new policy is materially less restrictive than this policy, > we will seek your consent. The webshop I checked says it won't share any info with anyone at all, except to get stuff delivered.
