    July started frenetically, with the postponed release on the 3rd. Then we had a Tails contributors meeting, and it was lots of fun and hard work. We decided broad directions for the incoming years, that you'll see in our Roadmap. We also reevaluated our processes and tools, and had a dance party. Tails contributors are ready to go on doing amazing work :)

    Documentation and website

    User experience


    • We rediscussed the terminology around installation media and decided to only advertise SD cards as a corner case.


    • Clarified the thread model of the automatic ISO verification extension regarding attacks inside the browser.


    • There was some work on the Greeter
    Infrastructure


    • Our test suite covers 185 scenarios, 3 more that in April.


    • All active development branches are now built automatically with Jenkins. This is the first stage towards integrating our automated test suite at the core of our software development process, and to run it continuously on our development versions while they are being developed.


    • We started a discussion about having a CRM to handle our user support requests.


    • We made progess on the automated tests specification, and started working on the corresponding underlying infrastructure, starting with extending the storage capacity on our main server and creating a bunch of new virtual machines.


    • We are almost done porting our ISO build system to Debian Jessie.
