-- [Mozilla awards $77k](https://twitter.com/Tails_live/status/745938256907345920) to work on reproducible builds for @Tails_live

+- [Mozilla awards $77k](https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2016/06/22/mozilla-awards-385000-to-open-source-projects-as-part-of-moss-mission-partners-program/) to work on [reproducible builds for Tails](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/reproducible_builds/).
+  The goal is to enable anyone (given sufficient technical skills and
+  hardware resources) to rebuild from source a given Tails release, in
+  order to independently verify that it matches the ISO image that
+  was published. A substantial part of this work will be done in Debian:
+  for example, to make the side-effects of some packages'
+  post-installation scripts deterministic. On the longer term, this
+  work should benefit other projects that want to make their own
+  builds reproducible (e.g. operating system images for the cloud and
+  embedded systems, operating system installation media, other Live
+  systems).
