[Tails-dev] April's low-hanging fruits week

Hi,

now that 0.17.2 is mostly ready, a few of us decided to have
a "low-hanging fruits" week, that is to spend a while together on many
small tasks that take less than 2 hours each, and are waiting in our
TODO list for too long.

We'll exceptionally allow ourselves to do the review & merge process
on IRC instead of the usual email -based workflow, so this should all
go pretty smoothly. We'll report back on tails-dev.

The goal would be to:

  1. Cool down after some weeks / months of hard and intense work.
  2. Get a lot of small improvements ready for Tails 0.18, without the
     overhead of the usual email round-trips.
  3. Enjoy something non-urgent, have some fun together.
  4. Cleanup our todo list a bit.

Meeting times (UTC) on IRC (#tails@???):

  - Saturday 6th    1pm-3pm
  - Wednesday 10th  8am-10am
  - Thursday 11th   8am-10am
  - Friday 12th     8am-10am

Anyone is warmly welcome to participate. Please do prepare some stuff
in advance (which will take from a few hours to a full day):

  1. Read https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/code/.
  2. Prepare your Tails build setup:
     https://tails.boum.org/contribute/build/
  3. Get yourself a Tails Git repository (at e.g. repo.or.cz,
     Github, etc.)
