I guess all of us read full-disclosure, bugtraq etc. and this is a "list for open source software authors and vendors to discuss public security issues". I don't think that the nth cross-post of software announces belong to this list.I don't mind seeing announcements of security tools related to Open Source software in here, as long as this does not dominate the list traffic (in which case we can always setup another list just for those announcements). I understand that others may have different opinion (please speak up).
I don't really mind about announces either, only about quadrupled ones because of cross-posting :) [...]
Do we have people like the security-audit activists of late 1990s in here? (I know that some of the same people are in fact in here, but I'm sure that they have changed - similarly to the way I have changed. So I mean people "like" those who were active on security-audit at the time and who are in this shape now.)
At least for Debian there is an audit project (http://www.debian.org/security/audit/) which is not really active anymore though. As far as I know Gentoo has a similar project. What about replacing those by an oss-security-audit project? I don't think oCert is the solution to audit requests as it simply lacks of enough manpower to do that in an organized fashion. But having some kind of general list for this hosted in a distribution neutral environment might work out. [...]
Now, do any/all of you find my posting appropriate? ;-)
I do! ;) Cheers Nico -- Nico Golde - http://www.ngolde.de - nion () jabber ccc de - GPG: 0x73647CFF For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted.
