Hey, We volunteered to organize a KDE Privacy Sprint. We wanted to make it happen in March. We think at a sprint of five days. The main goal for the sprint is to locate privacy issues and after locating them hopefully fix them. Let's take the advantage to speak in person with multiple people of different part in KDE to find solutions. Currently the date is not fixed, so we doodle for one:
https://bitpoll.mafiasi.de/poll/8BYKJA5B/ Please add yourself to the doodle fast, so that we can have a fixed date within the next weeks. Explicitly we would like to invite people from following teams: Plasma Plasma mobile Vault Falkon Choqok KDE Pim Frameworks Please feel also invited, if you are not in such a team an be simply interested in that topic! The sprint will either be located in Leipzig(Germany) or Les Magnas (France) http://auxsaisons.free.fr/. At the moment both options are still open, but soon we need to decide. What is your preference of place? Some issues that came into my mind: * currently when clicking on a link in an email the url is accessed within Plasma and than forward this to Firefox. If the user wants to use TorBrowser as default browser it is a Privacy Breach. * having an interface to torify/vpn applications Wifi: * detect wiki login pages - do not access internet before, e.g. you are using inet of a hotel * have a way to allow/dissallow applications interact with inet for specific wifis, e.g. you are using inet of a hotel TLS: * detecting bad SSL standards aka only TLS 1.0... * more helpful SSL problem dialog (properly if you have a wifi login page) Mails: * Encrypting headers of mails to give less metadata to surveillance T742. * Make it possible to search in encrypted mails, as until now, the encrypted data are a binary blob for the search. The search important to find mails again T8447. * Add GnuPG TOFU (Trust On First Use) trust model support for KMail. With TOFU you will get more security without exchanging the gpg fingerprints. To make it clear, exchanging fingerprints gives better security, but is exhausting. * Make Akregator webviewer protect against ad trackers T7528.
