[Tails-dev] selling merch as Tails while outsourcing the effort - some concrete ideas

2021-01-19 Thread syster via Tails-dev
A while ago someone asked in the email list weather it was ever considered to do some of the fundraising through selling merch. That brought me to think about how this could be done for Tails. With the following I'll share my thoughts: While Tails needs a solution that won't take resources

Some inspiration for monthly reports can be the XMPP newsletter. I've done more contribution (even not much) to Tails then to XMPP, but I never contributed to Tails monthly reports but to the one of XMPP. some information about the XMPP report: How to contribute is easy accessible:

I just want to tell you, that I enjoyed reading these reports. While I was new to Tails, it also was part of building trust by seeing it's active and transparent development and its regular and professional documentation. It played also a role in motivating me to do a bit of support. February

What I always thought what would be nice: Having 2 versions of Tails. One pure and free, and one with proprietary code that is needed to run some hardware. If one has a wifi adapter that runs on free software, most if not all of the proprietary code that is included in Tails is of no use for

I've just been reading through the new /doc/about/warnings/. It includes "No operating system can protect against BIOS and firmware attacks" and explains why that is, followed by a suggestion how to reduce that issue. What I'm missing is a hint to use Libre/Coreboot as an option to prevent

[Tails-dev] proposal/offer for hosting and bridging XMPP, IRC, Matrix - to deal with xmpp.riseup.net going away

Risesup is about to discontinue their XMPP service and with that, Tails MUCs. For the new set up my proposal is: Using XMPP, Matrix, IRC (and maybe Mattermost) at the same time and bridging the rooms. The hosting will be outsourced to a friendly collective by using one of the

Your best chance to get it into Tails, is to have it available in the Debian stable repository first. If it is not in Debian stable, you're out of luck. Once it is in Debian stable, it's probably still unlikely. However interest in crypto currencies are increasing. The Monero community is
