A lot of progress was done this week. I started my summer vacation yesterday, and I'll be using all of it on intensive Trisquel hacking! I finished the first T8 kernel and with it and help from Aklis we now have Flidas build jails in our continuous integration server: http://jenkins.trisquel.info:8085/computer/

I started to build some of the helpers in order to get an installable system. So far it is not very user friendly, you have to debootstrap it manually and some core packages like grub are still missing, but it is just enough to even start playing around with the user interface, so here is a glimpse of what my faithful librebooted x60 is looking like right now:



That is mostly a teaser, it will take some more work until installing a desktop is a simple operation. But nevertheless some of the biggest milestones for the T8 Flidas release are now in place, the most important being that collaboration on the new release through our GitLab instance (https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers) can now start.
