Re: [DISCUSS] Adding Google Analytics to our website

Google Analytics requires a Google account. Does is work if I create this

@Charlie: Yes, that would be great as well!

We may be able to use the account from the ApacheGeode YouTube channel. If not, I would suggest creating a google account whose creds are managed by the PMC.
