Some musings on why we do what we do (and also about what we do not) for gnu/linux packages leap.se/en/about-us/ne…

Multiligual? The awesome Localization Lab people help us with localization. And as a sidenote: we have desktop strings and apps too 🙃

Thanks to the Prototype Fund we improved censor detection and are close to IPv6 support. Shout-out to OONI and riseup.net demoweek.prototypefund.de/projects/14-ri… (German)

Upcoming desktop release! Speak Arab, Uyghur, Farsi, Italian...? Then help us with the localization of RiseupVPN and Bitmask: transifex.com/otf/bitmask/la… Localization Lab always helps when you have questions.

It's really motivating when people create or ameliorate our software. File bugs, translate, write docs, test, develop! Some nice folks created a guix package: guix.gnu.org/en/packages/bi… Shoutout to jgart and raghavgururajan

Do you know a Go developer interested in privacy and censorship circumvention? We're hiring! ✨ leap.se/post/2021_11_2… (bonus point if sparkles suggest you something crypto). No pdf cv, this is a plaintext-only position ;)

Are you fluent in another language than English? Like to help users of RiseupVPN and Bitmask around the globe? Then use your knowledge of Spanish, Arab, Portuguese, Turkish, Burmese… over here: transifex.com/otf/bitmask/da… transifex.com/otf/bitmask-an… <3 for Localization Lab as well!

🔎 We are looking for contributors to work on translation and review for bitmask and riseup.net before December 10th. Priority languages are Arabic, Farsi, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Get in touch with us!

A lot of Russian speaking people have been showing up in the last days. If you're fluent, it'd be swell if you could help them in chat or writing a little how-to. App translation too: wiki.localizationlab.org/index.php/Bitm…

Help more of our users to understand what they click on! See Localization Lab tweet. Other languages are more than welcome too of course! Or reviewing those that already have been done.
