What is Tails?
The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a 
Debian 9 based live CD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the 
Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.
Priorities for the next years:
ADOPTION
Improve installation instructions
Give some love:
Fix unsupported Wi-Fi cards.
Explain better what Tails is and what makes it so awesome.
Tails for blind users
RESISTANCE TO REMOTE EXPLOITATIONS:
HTTPS only mirrors for protection
Critical parts of Tails audited
COMMUNITY GROWTH, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION
Create outreach especially to under-represented
Recruit new workers and Lower technical requirements for them so we can get more people involved
APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES
Screen locker. [DONE]
Tails Server: run onion services fron tails! :-)
Support GUI's to mount VeraCrypt volumes
GUI for the Additional Packages persistent feature: Easily add software to Tails.
Mobile msg applications: investigate if we could support Signal, Firechat etc.
Provide a GUI for backups
SUSTAINABILITY OF CORE CODE
Basing Tails on rolling snapshots of Debian
Priority for core code than polishes
Port complex shells to Python
Robust GMT time snyc
USER RESEARCH
Perform surveys.
Find more people to describe our users
Power our help desk with a tracker
FUNDING FROM PRIVATE PARTNERS
Strenghten our relationships with existing ones.
Contact more potential ones.
Document better benefits for partners
INFRASTRUCTURE MIGRATIONS
Update our infrastructure to:
Have a better server infrastructure to handle our growing
Self-host our website as boum.org won't be hosting anymore
ROBUST AUTOMATED TESTS
Local Git repos
Our own email server
Notify devs on failure

Tails is an amazing tool for those who wish to remain anonymous. The fact that journalists and whistle-blowers have used and recommended it should speak to its security. If you need complete anonymity, Tails is just a download away! Even better, it's based on Debian!
