TPA 2026 roadmap
This roadmap was determined during the [2025 TPA meetup](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/meeting/2025-10) and [adopted in November 2025](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/meeting/2025-11-10#2026-roadmap-review), although it's still up for review with other stakeholders as of 2025-11-16. ## Must have Recurring: - YEC (@lavamind) - regular upgrades and reboots, and other chores (stars) - no hardware replacements than the ones already planned with tails (dragon etc) Non-recurring: - tails merge: - tails moving to Prometheus, requires TPA prometheus server merge (because we need the space, mostly, @zen) - shift merge, which requires tails moving to prometheus (stars) - mailman merge (maybe delegate to tails team? @groente can followup) - email mailboxes (TPA-RFC-45, @groente) - authentication merge phase 1 (after mailboxes, @groente) - web: - download.tpo website launch (@lavamind) - vpn content publishled on support.tpo (@lavamind) - marble on community, blog, and www.tpo websites (@lavamind) - donate-neo CAPTCHA fixes (@anarcat / @lavamind) - dev portal rework (@lavamind and UX) - completed trixie upgrades (stars) - SVN retirement or migration (@anarcat) - MinIO migration / conversion to Garage? (@lelutin) - TPA-RFC-38 wikis, perhaps just for TPA's wiki for starters? (@anarcat) - OpenVox packaging (@lavamind) ## Nice to have - RFC reform (maybe already done in 2025, @anarcat) - (TPA?) in-person meeting (@anarcat) - reform deb.tpo, further idea for a roadmap to fix the tor debian package (@lelutin / @lavamind, filed as [tpo/tpa/team#42374][]) - gitlab scaling (https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40479), possibly connected with the tails website merge, see https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/42393#note_3293204) - tails merge: - firewall merge, requires TPA and Tails to migrate to nftables (@zen) - Tails websites merge - Tails mirror coordination (postpone to 2027?) - Tails DNS merge - Tails TLS merge [tpo/tpa/team#42374]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/42374 Let's move that deb.tpo item list to an epic or issue. ## Won't do - backups merge (postponed to 2027) ## Observations - lots of stuff, hard to tell whether we'll be able to pull it off - we assigned names, but that's flexible - we don't know exactly when those things will be done, will be allocated in quarterly reviews - this is our wishlist, we need to get feedback from other teams, web team and perhaps team leads / ops meeting coming up about that Previous roadmap was https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/roadmap/2025
