Excellent keynote

Ryan (a personal friend of mine), delivered one of the best keynotes I've heard at GUADEC. But it certainly inspired me as a GNOME person to start looking at how we look at fundraising, telemetry in a different way. I proposed turning on telemetry in a lightening talk on GNOME OS. As noted, packagers will turn off telemetry so we can at least Q&A the telemetry on GNOME OS with an eventual conversation on moving it (opt-in, of course) to mainstream.

Ultimately, telemetry will help drive better design decisions, and provide us with a rough number of what the install base would be. Having those numbers lets us have effective conversations with various vendors. But more than that, the more desktops that are on there the more we drive consumer grade hardware to support Linux -> more kernel patches.
