Maintainer

What are the tasks of a maintainer?

• answering questions in the forums
• keeping the wiki up to date
• testing of installation, build, upgrade instructions
• having a look at the issue tracker, implementing bug fixes and perhaps new features related to the maintained component
• otherwise self-initiated (guess)work and care keeping for the component in question

This is a volunteer position.

Package Maintainer

Whonix provides a lot Debian packages. (Overview) Usage of these packages is currently untested and unmaintained in any Linux distributions besides Whonix due to limited recourses of the Whonix team.

Would you be interested to maintain one or another package for using them outside of Whonix? Such as in Debian or so? Maintenance means here, keep up with code changes and releases, test if these packages work outside of Whonix, eventually report bugs or add new features, answer support requests by users.

Or would you be even interested to get one or another package into mainstream Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or so?

This is a volunteer position.

General

Any of these would help...

• Have good knowledge of Linux networking and iptables?
• AppArmor: Know how to create AppArmor profiles? Join us testing new AppArmor profiles for improved security!
• #!/bin/bash
• python
• ruby
• C
• etc.
• Register at our new issue tracker https://phabricator.whonix.org. Consider to subscribe.
• development forum, consider hitting the 'notify' button to subscribe
• Login on github, go to https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/issues and press "watch" to get notified about discussions on Whonix github issues. (old issue tracker, not all that important)

Your task could include, depending on your interest:

  • creating stable hotfix releases
  • you name it
• building Whonix .libvirt images

• report bug when build fails
• signing them

• blog/mailing-lists posting
• fixing build documentation, if it's simple or reporting a bug
• Dev/Redistribution
• Testing (will be easy and fast as soon we add a script)

KDE Desktop Developer

If you know KDE desktop scripting, for example how to change the Desktop folder view using a script and would volunteer to answer such questions that would be immensely helpful.
