Wednesday September 10, 2008 Stephen Smalley coming to speak this month!
Stephen Smalley of the National Security Agency will be speaking this month at the SVOSUG meeting, on Sept. 25th, in SCA03, that is the room above the auditorium we used to meet at. We're moving over this month for the added space.
I will be inviting anyone around town that might be interested to hear Stephen talk about Flask and Type Enforcement. This is an excellent opportunity for all of the open source communities to hear and ask any questions about this technology they might have.
Flask and Type Enforcement is the technology used in SELinux today, and the same technology being worked on for OpenSolaris, where Stephen is leading the FMAC project with John Weeks, of Sun Fed.
You can find out more about FMAC at the OpenSolaris project page.
Sun Fed will be supplying pizza and beverages for this event. Please join us on the evening of Sept. 25th at 7:30pm.

Oh to be in the Valley :)
Any chance you could have Stephens talk filmed for us on the other side of the world?

Yes, actually there is a good chance of that. Will do my best to get a recording, as well as broadcast over ustream.

Che,
I need to check and make sure we can record it, and/or broadcast live. I will do that before the meeting, and checking into it now. I've been told that sometimes the NSA has restrictions on what is recorded and/or broadcasted, but this presentation has been approved already, and hopefully that won't be an issue.
Regards,
Alan
