Description

Primary motivation: super cheap way to raise awareness about upcoming great improvements, which could support our donation campaign.
Secondary motivation: learn ASAP if our PoC does not work on some systems.

I’ll try to do this by the end of the year, with asend a call for testing only on twitter & -testers@, and no blog post.

This should be built out of the feature/6560-secure-boot branch, merging the latest feature/8415-overlayfs+force-all-tests into it if needed.
This would be an alpha built on Jenkins, with no QA done on it whatsoever, apart of course of making sure that it boots on at least one system with Secure Boot enabled.

Hi @sajolida!

I’m not sure yet if/when I’ll have time to do that so I can’t carve a schedule in stone but if there’s anything I should ideally coordinate with, in particular wrt. the donation campaign, please let me know :)

Any time is fine.

The (minimalist) call for testing is out: https://lists.autistici.org/message/20191221.150827.105ba267.en.html.

@sajolida, do you want to write a tweet about it by Dec 24, to get folks excited? Else, I’m happy to do it myself.
