I was looking at the bug list and found that
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7567 has finally led to Docker as
a choice for the future build system for Tails.

Blueprint and the corresponding tickets have helped to track its progress -
https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/evaluate_Docker/  and
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7530 shows they are still a lot of
work to be done.

I have  worked with chroot build systems mostly  and have been part of
a project lately where migration to LXC(not Docker) build system is
under progress.

I also went though https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/Linux_containers/
and the corresponding issue https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6178
which says certain security issues prevent Tails to use LXC.

Both the above projects interests me and I would love to work with
Tails developer community on either of them.

>  * Was your GSoC application with CentOS accepted?

I have contacted CentOS development community regarding imlementation
of non-x86 rootfs build factory. I submitted a proposal for
implementing the same on the main development list (CentOS-devel) but
have not received a single feedback on the same.

I haven't heard from them for a long time now, neither feedbacks nor
suggestions(despite my repeatedly asking for their reviews) so I doubt
my proposal would  make it to their GSOC project this year.

Saket Sinha

I've a few use case for onionoo data, one of them uses onionoo to find
groups of relays run by one entity. First_seen combined with
last_restarted has proven to be a rather good datapoint for that.
Using an array of all restarts (instead of just one) would likely
reduce false-positives even more. That is one field but I'll consider
(historic) changes to other fields (contactinfo, orport, dirport, ...)
as well.

Although I could imagine atlas displaying data like "these were
previously provided contact details: ..." most of my use cases are to
uncommon to add to onionoo.

There are no archives of Onionoo's documents.

But of course there are CollecTor's archives which you'd feed into
Onionoo.  Though it's very likely easier to parse those directly
(possibly using Stem) rather than setting up an Onionoo instance for
the exact time you're interested in.

Speaking of, what historic data are you looking for?  Maybe it's
something that we should add to Onionoo itself?

All the best,
Karsten

Great!

I have to say it comes as a surprise for me, since I didn't realize
that the SoP homepage [0] pointed to Tor's projects page [1], that
indeed lists Tails. Given that, depending on what exact project you
want to work on, we may be in a position to find a mentor for you on
our team, or not. I hope it'll work, but sadly, I doubt we'll be able
to clarify this before you have told us what exactly you would like to
work on.

> Kindly let me know how to go ahead with this.

Please:

1. Read the SoP homepage [0] entirely. It actually answers this
   question of yours.

2. Come up with a great project. Once you have an idea or two, feel
   free to come discuss it on tails-...@boum.org: we can help you
   adjust it to better match your skills and desires, and the Tails
   project's current needs.

3. Send your application as instructed on that page. When you'll do
   that, please Cc ta...@boum.org (our core team's private
   mailing-list) when emailing tor-assistants@, so that we're in the
   loop. Please include as much specifics as you can regarding your
   past experience with Debian packaging and build systems (pointers
   to actual VCS repositories and code would help).

Also:

 * Was your GSoC application with CentOS accepted?

 * At some point, I'd like to be put in touch with the mentor(s) you
   had when you were working with CERN during GSoC 2013. This can wait
   until you've reached step #2 as described above.
