Approved by the board

[Jesse Keating]

We're now approved by the FESCO board.

So a few things we need to do, setup wiki space for the security
response group/team/whatever, include in there policy about what we're
doing.  Then link to this policy from the Extras main page where
appropriate.

Step 3, profit!

I had a couple of minutes during the meeting to start on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Security but I didn't get very
far at all before I had to leave.  If someone has something else in
mind, feel free to just erase those pages.

I would encourage building under http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security 
instead.  This isn't dedicated exclusively to Extras, and may eventually 
encompass other areas of the Fedora Project.  Besides, links already exist to 
that location, so you've got a bit of a head start in publicizing it.

Cool, I like the Far East Shipping Company. I'm glad that they approve 
of us. :-)

I need to be certain about something.  Does fedora-security provide 
coverage for Fedora Legacy (i.e. RH7.3, etc)?  I want to, and can, 
contribute time/code/testing/etc, but I need to make sure that I have 
all my personal bases covered first.  I hope that doesn't sound too 
selfish.  I just have a need to keep a few RH73 secure and stable for a 
bit longer.

Is this a serious need?  Donations?

Thanks!

So there isn't any reason why The Fedora Security Response Team or
whatever couldn't work with Legacy.  We'll need to talk more about
integrating the two projects though.

No, it's a joke.

Hey it is for me. I would love to be able to do this from home via
donations.. I would even do crappy stick figure comics as a value
added feature.

Jesse,

Thanks for the update.  Do you know if there is a preference as to the
namespace we use for our policies and procedures in the wiki (I have no
desire to anger anyone by just making things up)?

The end of last week was terribly busy for me so I've still not gotten to
start writing documentation :(

I do see people have been adding things to the fe4/5 files.  If anyone has
any suggestions on how to improve the logging format, please let me know.
Nothing is written in stone.

I don't think there is anything really.  I'd say /Security as its own
namespace, and other projects can point to it, bet included in int,
reference it etc..  We want the project to grow to be larger than just
Extras, so might as well start w/ the more global approach.

I had started under Extras, but I didn't add much stuff so someone
should feel free to move or delete it as necessary.
