Excellent! I've updated the blueprint accordingly.

Please let us know when you know more when you can start, then :)

Note that the very first sprint (that we would like to have in August
2016) might not be very exciting to doc people, given what we expect
to be the goals there. Quoting the blueprint:

* August 2016 — start working on Tails 3.0 (1 week sprint with
all involved people) :intrigeri:anonym:kytv:
- get feature/stretch to build and boot
- update the automated test suite to test Tails/Stretch ISO images

… so it's no big deal if you join us for the 2nd sprint only.

Cheers,
