Recentemente, pedimos a você que nos ajude a financiar nosso trabalho em 2018.

Hoje, queremos contar o que realizamos em 2017.

  • Novos recursos e interfaces fáceis de usar

    • Estamos particularmente orgulhosos de lançar o Tails 3.0 quase ao mesmo tempo que o Debian 9.0 (Stretch), o que fortalece nosso compromisso com as comunidades de software livre sem as quais o Tails não existiria.

    • Adicionamos novos recursos, como OnionShare para compartilhamento de arquivos, e redesenhamos outros recursos principais, como Tails Greeter e Tails Installer, para serem muito mais fáceis de usar.

  • Reforço de segurança

    • Em breve forneceremos uma compilação reproduzível da imagem ISO para proteger usuários e desenvolvedores contra uma compilação maliciosa de nossa imagem ISO. Este esforço foi pago pelo prêmio Mozilla Open Source Support que recebemos em 2016.

    • Prometemos trabalhar para fazer com que todos os nossos espelhos usem HTTPS e temos orgulho de anunciar que nosso conjunto de espelhos agora contém mais de 40 espelhos ativos e rápidos. Todos eles veiculam nossos arquivos por meio de uma conexão TLS criptografada ao fazer download através do site com JavaScript habilitado, ao usar nossa extensão Download And Verify e quando o Tails é atualizado.

  • Comunidade

    • We published our Social contract, the guiding principles that reflect the commitment to our ideals.

  • Fundraising

    • Have more reliable and steady sources of income: We created a page presenting our past and present sponsors and hopefully inciting more companies and individuals to make substantial donations.

Next to this selection of new features, we also work on recurring tasks:

  • In 2017, we published seven Tails releases.

  • We answered 122 bug reports on average each month through our help desk and helped many people being safer online. Each user request costs us 6€ on average to proceed. In 2017 our help desk was paid entirely out of donations.

  • We maintain and update our infrastructure. You might not see this effort, but it constitutes a crucial part of our work to verify that everything is functioning correctly, build ISO images, test, make it possible to publish emergency releases faster.

  • Organizing our own meetings and attending conferences in our field is critical to keep our community alive and relevant. But this is usually hard to get funded by grants, so donations help us a lot here.

  • In 2017, we attended conferences and connected to free software and Internet freedom communities in 8 different countries: OTF Summit (USA), 33C3 & Reproducible Builds world summit (Germany), FOSDEM (Belgium), IFF (Spain), Tor dev (Netherlands), GUADEC (United Kingdom), DebConf (Canada), CryptoRave (Brasil).

  • Keeping Tails successful also implies quite a bit of administration to raise funds, do accounting, organize work, write reports, etc.

Besides substantial donations, we would be able to better plan our future work if we would receive many more monthly donations.

If you can, we'd love for you to sign up for monthly donations at whatever level suits you ($5 = formidable. $10 = wonderful. More money = magnificent.)

If you like our work, please take one minute to keep Tails alive.
