Hello,
It is after IETF 73 so I figured that I would try to organize our
conference call now for some time next week. I spoke with Mike Eisler,
Lars Eggert and Spencer Shepler and they seem happy from a technical
perspective about what we are proposing. After the meeting I asked them
what I need to do to move forward about getting this added to the
working group charter and they said I need to get support from members
within the working group who are willing to do some of the work in
reviewing the documents.
So the main thing I would like to discuss is what would you and
Bruce like to see done that you would feel comfortable publicallty
supporting this work. Since you want to see something more concrete from
the working group before we work on merging code into mainline I need to
start drumming up support as soon as possible. Tim Polk expressed his
support at IETF 72 in Dublin so hopefully he will do that again if I ask
him. We have a few people at Sun who support the work and some people at
Netapp have been getting questions about SELinux support from their
customers so I believe they may be willing as well.
P.S I will be out of the office until Monday so I added my personal
email address to the CC so I can have access to this at home.
Dave
