New contributor Loïc Maury

[Loïc Maury]

Hello,

My name is Loïc Maury, I am C/C++/Python/Haskell programmer, and
I try to contribute to Fedora Project.

I have spoken with some persons of Fedora (Infrastructure), and it seem
I can help with this project.

I have some experience with code audit/functional testing( job and
personaly),
static analysis tool, security programming.

I hope I will can help and contribute.

Thank you

Loïc Maury

Hello Loic,

Florian and Eric seem to be doing most of the C/C++ stuff. Our python 
defensive coding section is only one page. Maybe that would be a good 
place to start ?

As I mentioned yesterday on list, be nice to cover a variety of topics 
with pitfalls, even generic stuff like how to do efficient, safe input 
validation, including with unicode/ascii issues, regexpr pitfalls. 
Different examples would be great. I suspect many people also use 
databases, so maybe a few examples for doing in and output validation 
with proper logging, would also be useful to the community of aspiring 
pythonians. I am sure there are loads more topics I cannot think of at 
the moment. Maybe covering xml, json/yaml verification, hashing, TLSing 
(?).... loads more out there.

I personally think there is too little good practical information out 
there, which is why we need a community guide. Maybe soon then, we can 
have multiple people doing improvements and peer review, to make this 
guide a very good starting point for programmers, wanting to learn good 
implementation methodology.

Thank you very much for volunteering.

Of course this is just a suggestion, not a tasking. So, do whatever you 
would like to do, maybe there is something in the C/C++ guide you see, 
that also needs improving or adding.

Any help is appreciated! Maybe you know a few others that would be 
willing to help out.

Keep in mind, this is a community guide, even though it might be branded 
as a Fedora guide, it is still a major benefit to the FOSS community as 
a whole.


Thank you again.

Regards,

Tristan

Ok, I didn't know, that we have a project about handbook security. I didn't
find in fedoraproject wiki ?

Otherwise, I am less fluent in Python than C/C++ but, I think I can help.

The idea is to write some sample code of "how I can do this task with my
code safely" ?

Thank you
