Their list is a bit outdated I think.

Some items are still relevant, but IMHO some big priorities are:

* OS packaging tools that provide sandboxing and dependency resolution, in a saner way than containers. Contributing to Guix or Nix would be ideal.

* A mobile OS that has at least a completely free userland. In the short term, only Android derivatives seem plausible. The Guardian Project + Copperhead OS + F-Droid alliance seems very interesting and worth contributing to: https://guardianproject.info/2016/03/28/copperhead-guardian-...

* Decent multi-device messaging, to replace WhatsApp et al. Something like Matrix or Ring, or Signal without Google Cloud Messaging.
