Subject: Re: [Tails-dev] Installation Assistant (+ ISO Verification Extension + Tails Install in Debian): release schedule
Hi sajolida,

thank you for your time filing those tickets :)

Unfortunately I can't look at them closely until Monday because I'm
traveling, so please forgive me if the answers to my questions below
could be easily found by examining their details.

I will certainly try, but I'm not sure I can fix all those issues by
then because I'm gonna attend Mozilla's December work-week in Orlando
(AKA "Mozlando"), from 7 to 12, and I'm pretty sure I won't own the
golden share on my time, there.

However, if you set some kind of priority on them, I'll start from the
highest attempting to fix as much as possible, always aiming for the
full package of course.

That's definitely feasible.

What does it mean from a logistics standpoint for me? Do I just need to
commit my fixes to my repository and set the "Ready for QA" flag on the
bugs, ir is there some further step I need to take for the things going
in there place for your release, and what the actual deadlines?

That can be done, with the aforementioned caveat.
