 The Security Team as it stands now is mostly reactive and not proactive so I
 don't think it would fit very well as a sub project of security. Hardened is
 another matter.

I live the way you put 'friendly' first :)

regarding the past posts about the existing security team, I'm
thinking this project is suposed to build up some suite of
applications and configurations to let the administrator control his
security settings in a more easy way.

imo this does not clash with the security team's purpose; this project
will that the security team's results and make it into a more frieldy
suite

I'd be more than happy to assist in this project, or the main security team.

[gentoo-dev] RFC: new project gentoo-extreme-security

2007-10-21 Thread Alexander Gabert

Hello,

this is a request for comments on a new project:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/extreme-security/

When the webservers have finished mirroring the xml file, you can view 
the description and the goals of the preliminary version of the new 
project page for the Gentoo Extreme Security Project.  The new project 
is about sharing a new vision and building a development platform for 
new ideas and collecting input about making Gentoo Linux even more 
attractive for professional server environments and increasing the 
security and resilience factor of the distribution beyond the currently 
possible achievements!


Thanks,


Alex
