Hello all,
I have been reviewing the progress of the Fedora project for over a year now. Honestly, I was a little reluctant to transition to another distribution. I had been a mainstay of SuSE since release 7.0; mainly because of the security oriented nature of the product(s).
Now that I've made the plunge and am loving it; I want to provide my services to the community where I can. Here goes my idea:
What about a documentation suite entitled --- Fedora Security Series?
Here's a brief vision statement.
The purpose of the series is to provide a security-related orientation of a great multitude of topics and how they relate to the Fedora distribution and its role in a network infrastructure.
For instance, the first couple topics that I would like to write would be: - Risk Assessment of a Fedora Core Installation Scheme - Risk Analysis of an Desktop Installation - Risk Analysis of an Server Installation - Policy Development in a Multiuser System - etc......
As you can see, the topics are sequential in structure. Which alleviates any issues due to end-user initiated problems.
i.e. in order to develop a complete operating system risk analysis and determine a control solution(s); you must first perform the risk assessment to determine probable threat agents, and safeguards
The intended audience would be Power-Users, and individuals with Information Technology experience. However, with a good content model it should be easily understood by the general user.
This series should be authored by individuals with relevant security experience. They don't need to be CISSP certified; just have first hand knowledge of the topic.
I am inclined to get the series started in the right direction; so I would like to write the first few topics for a good base. Then it's up to the community!
These should all be included in a series of related themes.
I can start the first topic as soon as the community accepts the idea. I personally think this is great idea (of source I would!); but don't want to work on this idea; if it undermines the ideas of other team members.
Thank you for your time. Thomas Jones
