Hello,
Bryan Jacobson and myself (both from IBM) have been approved to lead
two SELinux BOFs at the upcoming LinuxCon and Linux Plumbers
Conference in Portland, Oregon. The LinuxCon BOF entitled "How to
Keep SELinux Turned On" is scheduled for Tuesday, September 22nd at
11:15 AM. The Linux Plumbers Conference BOF entitled "Making SELinux
Easier to Use" is set for Thursday, September 24th at 3:00 PM.
Below are the abstracts for both of the BOFs. If you are unable to
attend, but have input you would like to share, we would be very
interested in hearing it.
Thanks!
Debora Velarde

LinuxCon BOF: How to Keep SELinux Turned On
According to our Linux support team, the number one question they get
about SELinux is. How do I turn off SELinux? This BoF will discuss
usability problems with SELinux that cause users to turn it off, and
focus on a small set of near term improvements.
Although many tools for SELinux have been created, there is still a
perception that SELinux is too complicated to use. How can we change
that? We would also like to hear from experienced SELinux users that
have in depth knowledge of the tools available. Please come share your
knowledge, concerns, and ideas of what changes you would like to see.
Linux Plumbers BOF: Making SELinux Easier to Use (focus on documentation)
SELinux is often disabled immediately or at the first sign of trouble.
How can we make SELinux something users actually want to leave on?
Inadequate documentation was recently listed as one of problems
related to using SELinux on the SELinux mailing list. Although many
tools for SELinux have been created, there is still a perception that
SELinux is too complicated to use. This talk will present a list of
possible documentation improvements that can help change this
perception.
