Hello, I covered two topics : SELinux and Fedora Core 6. SELinux ------- I explained quickly what SELinux is about, how it is an additional security layer to the kernel. I talked about strict vs targeted, and how to switch to enforcing/permissive/disabled. I told about setenforce to test if SELinux can be the cause of a malfunction. Concerning the workings of SELinux, I only explained the use of the "type" property (file_contexts), and I used an example of a compromised FTP server to show that is will only do what it supposed to do, even compromised. Apparently people liked the example, some event said it was the first time they understood SELinux (which is quite gratifying :) ) I had questions about how to make changes to the policy : one user didn't know about the SELinux tab in system-config-securitylevel, and another wanted to let apache listed to other ports than 80. Someone asked if it is possible to manage SELinux policies according to groups, which forced me to talk about MLS/MCS :) So in the end, people were interested, and looked like they understood. Fedora Core 6 ------------- I basically took the points in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6Future and explained what was said at FUDCon Boston. I had questions about the future Yum applet, about a potentially new init system, and about hardware support (for suspend/resume) There were requests for a 1 or 2 CD install (yet again) I think it went pretty good, except in the end when people used the questions channel for trolling and commenting the main channel. People started asking generic questions right after the start, so for future vFudCons, it may be a good idea to collect generic questions 1 or 2 days before the event, and to answer them at the beginning. Also, maybe it's just us frenchmen who don't understand the word discipline, but we need to prevent the questions channel from becoming a troll nest. People (especially on IRC) need to comment what's going on and screem "bullsh!t" from time to time, so we can open (yet) another channel for free comments. And the non-presenting ambassadors can redirect trolls to this channel. And the main channel can be made read-only except for the ambassadors. That could work, we'll see next time :) In the end, we're all pretty satisfied with how things went, especially since it's our first.
