Collect user information when they download H2O-3 opensource to target potential users

[wendycwong]

We do not have useful user information when a user download H2O-3. There are several ideas to do this:

1. ask user to fill out simple information like their email address. Once we verified the email address is correct, they can download OSS.
2. ask user to setup an account before they can download. This is a more heavy process which users may not want to do.

The goal here is to know who our users are and we can then target them to sign up for some kind of packages where the open source team can better serve our customer needs.

regarding 1 - fill name, affiliation, and email. After submitting the request, we provide a download link and also send email with the link. I can imagine a simple infra using AWS lambda + DynamoDB (similar to https://github.com/h2oai/aws-marketplace-saas-offering)

regarding 2 - the best would be to connect to our "H2O.ai ID" - the same as it is used for Freemium and have a simple tracker that tracks downloads for end user.
