5 # Including nautilus-gtkhash?
9 The feature seems sound to have in Tails, and there is apparently no
10 alternative in Debian. nautilus-gtkhash seems well maintained in
11 Debian, has been tested on Tails/Wheezy, and installing it in there
12 only requires to download 89kB of .deb's.
14 So, we decided to install it in Tails 1.1.
16 # Keep CACert.org's root certificate in the web browser?
18 [[!tails_ticket 6966]]
20 * basically nobody cares much about it
21 * nobody volunteered to re-add this certificate and maintain the patch
22 * when it disappeared from Tails for 6 weeks ([[!tails_ticket 6704]]),
23 nobody complained for other reasons that blocked access to
24 labs.riseup.net (that was temporarily using a cacert-issued
25 certificate, and had HSTS enabled)
27 => we won't reintroduce this root certificate ourselves in Tails.
29 # Make homepage point to a local file like torbrowser
31 [[!tails_ticket 7023]]
33 * using a local homepage (with links to key pages) would make it less
34 likely that users read our news, and people who see the "not enough
35 memory to check for upgrades" thing won't know that there's a new
37 * if our website is compromised (either locally, or via SSL MitM with
38 help from a rogue CA), then we have many other problems: e.g.
39 the attacker can block all kinds of security update notifications
40 (incremental upgrades, security check) forever, trick users to
41 download random ISOs, etc.
42 * we could configure NoScript to block JavaScript on tails.boum.org,
43 and mitigate the concern about exploitation of the browser via JS on
44 the homepage; OTOH, not all firefox security issues require JS, so
45 it doesn't really solve much of the problem.
47 => this needs research, to find a good solution.
49 # Gather opinions on the "Broken Window" --> "Hole in the Roof" proposal
51 We decided to go with "Hole in the Roof".
53 # Shall we produce Tails t-shirts?
55 Here we want to gather people's opinion and feelings. The decision
56 will be made later, and possibly by the core team only.
58 * pros we had before starting discussing: that could bring some money
59 into project, we will surely find people interesting in buying and
60 wearing one, it will make Tails visible in geek events
61 * cons we had before starting discussing: that's not our core
62 business, why should we produce cloth, we don't want to encourage
63 this kind of consumerism
64 * someone is not in favour, won't spend any time on it, but won't cry
66 * someone suggests we produce (virgin) USB sticks first
67 * someone thinks it's a nice way to get some money into the project
68 * someone suggest to outsource to a web-store
69 * someone else suggests to only sell ourselves at conferences
70 * someone notes that it is extremely unlikely to ever be a significant revenue source,
71 and adds that it's about taking on some amount of work for the sake
72 of promotion and 'community feeling'
73 * someone suggests we print a few cheap one's for 31c3 and see how it
74 goes, e.g, give them to contributors of the year 2014
75 * someone suggests we could have friends do DIY screen printing
76 * someone says: if somebody wabts to do it, great.
77 * it's noted that if we go for it, next step is to draw and submit
