If you want to attend some of the sprints, be it remotely or potentially in-person, please talk to me and we'll see how we can make it work in a way that suits everyone involved.

Right. Then it might be better for me if I can skip this one :) And until there's an ISO image it might be hard for me to be helpful. ___ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.

Please let us know when you know more when you can start, then :) Note that the very first sprint (that we would like to have in August 2016) might not be very exciting to doc people, given what we expect to be the goals there. Quoting the blueprint: * August 2016 — start working on Tails 3.0 (1 week sprint with all involved people) :intrigeri:anonym:kytv: - get feature/stretch to build and boot - update the automated test suite to test Tails/Stretch ISO images … so it's no big deal if you join us for the 2nd sprint only.

[Tails-dev] Porting Tails to Debian Stretch
Hi, Me and intrigeri have deviced a plan for how we will deal with the migration to Debian Stretch, with the details being available in this blueprint: https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/Debian_Stretch/ In short, we do not want to repeat the way we did Jessie migration -- we think we can do better! The idea is to leverage our up-coming freezable APT repo [0] to take snapshots of Debian Testing (= Stretch) and have sprints to put Tails into shape around these snapshots regularly, without the delta growing too big neither against Debian Stretch or Tails/Jessie. We will also use this experiment as a benchmark for the idea to make Tails into a semi-rolling release based on Debian Testing, which is pretty exciting! This is an early notice for this plan draft. Our hopes is that more people will get involved this time, for a more collective effort. We are in particular looking for one person to be responsible for the documentation-side of things, since we feel keeping it sort-of up-to-date will help us identify regressions early. Regarding timelines, the freeze for Debian Stretch will be in early December, so the work has to start early enough so issues can be identified and fixed before that (post-freeze fixes are generally much harder). Due to other committments me and intrigeri will not be able to start this until some time early August, which will give us almost four months for this work before the Stretch freeze. We intend to kickstart this effort with a sprint where we meet face to face, and other participants will of course be welcome. So please let us know if you are interested in joining this effort, and please also try to keep your excitment in check so some of it remains in six months when this work will start for real! :) Cheers!
