Out of transparency and a reminder:

There is not yet a clear definition on how Tails likes to have its fediverse account managed.

At least until then, bear in mind that this account is not run by its core project members, but by a happy user and contributor of Tails. Nothing of what you read here, is an official statement.

Once you feel any discomfort how this account is managed, or have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to @syster (that's me) or this account.

We are hiring a technical writing consultant to strengthen our Technical Writing team.

I've got a bit of free time that I'd like to use to contribute to Tails.

But then you didn't know how to begin with, or the "begin with" was so much effort that it was overloading your free time? 😕

Maybe you have been thinking this, but never reported it to us? Now would be the time. 😋
We can do better.

Update about the migrating to Gitlab:

- diverging from Redmine and Gitolite
- adopting Tails infrastructure to Gitlab is still in process (automated building of website, integration with Translation Platform, Jenkins builds, etc)

"We want to prioritize things that are blocking people from working, so Jenkins is top priority, for example"

- user accounts from redmine migrated to Gitlab. To login with it, [1] request a new pasword and [2] confirm your e-mail addresses

Today we released our new Home and About pages:

They explain better what Tails is and why activists, journalists, and domestic violence survivors should use Tails.

Migration from redmine to gitlab isn't finished yet, but our gitlab is already running at:
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org

So if you were searching for an issue in redmine, you should find it now there instead.
