Due to the influx of new software developers ( many from Higher Education Institutions) we are being asked to relax our policy about not using personal services ( email, dropbox, google, git etc.) for storing or conducting institution business. The main reason for our current policy is that those work products are considered belonging to the institution and as such when you leave the institution we want to make sure that the work product stays with us ( of course there is no guarantee that a copy won't make it out in some form or fashion but that's another topic). There are also security concerns ( personal email services maybe hosted under someone's desk at home!). There are some rumblings that these restrictions are too limiting for this new crop of developers. So I ask. At your institutions what is the general policy on conducting Institution business using personal services ( email, dropbox, git etc.). Thanks for your feedback Thanks, Petrus Williams J.
