This talk will go into how the Linux kernel security team works, how changes are propagated out to the public, and how users must take advantage of these changes in order to have a secure system.It's going to be much the same talk, with only minor tweaks as I forgot some points I wanted to make in the first one. Thanks for the link to my slides and presentation, glad to see that information get spread wider!It was a very insightful talk. However, I'm not sure whether companies would even be willing to start a conversation with an open source community without an NDA being signed.
Then those companies are not going to get very far, sorry. We've been working this way for Linux for a very long time now, and it's worked very well without any NDAs. For good reasons, you never want to sign one as it turns out to make the info you learn in them _more_ likely to leak, talk to a lawyer for all the fun details. thanks, greg k-h
