Just my suggestion. I suggest that the senior people at plug create a schedule on how to tackle this and set a deadline?
Say 1 week brainstorming - - presentation of suggestions backed up with facts/detailed experience on preferred/suggested distro or home brewed linux. - Set a voting criteria. who are allowed to vote. What are their vote weights. People who volunteers matters since they are the one who is going to implement things. say Eric, Jijo will have a heavier vote weight since they volunteered themselves. Skill Level also matter, say I volunteered, my vote weight should be _less_ than Eric and Jijo's vote weights, or I my vote weight is 0 since my I feel Im only there to assist or do tasks that was given to me. 1 week planning - after selection, maybe division/delegation of work, who gets assigned to what service and make some indepth research on history, possible/upcoming vulnerabilities on that service. AFAIK vendors are notified and given 2 weeks to patch things up before they release the vulnerability to the public. And since the speakers are themselves hackers they themselves might know something that is not yet released to the bugtraq community and can use that to breakin on the system. 1 week implementation - implementation and continued tracking on vulnerabilities, in house pen testing. Further hardening. 1 week testing - pen testing, ie, will this be open to public. continued tracking on vulnerabilities. etc. Further hardening then deploy (harden more 3 days before the event). It is better to be prepared than rush things up later when the event is near. Also maybe set the target goal.Show that Linux is at least better than Windows on most respects. It goes to say that there is really an low cost alternative that is more reliable and more secure. As for me I would prefer a distro that really embodies the Spirit of GNU/Linux. But it really matters most to choose something that is really geared for Secure Computing. :) Just my two cents. Dax _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
