Re: Russell Coker is recognized for his contributions to the SELinux project

["Jason Anderssen" <jna@vasco.com>]

To all on the list, I am new to selinux, and use the mailing list as a
resource to understand selinux.  I have successfully set it up and practise
using it, and use the list to improve my knowledge.

I have to give a huge congratulations to Russell, as watching and learning
selinux, would not of been as easy with out his input into the list, and
also his selinux box on the web/website dedicated to the growth of selinux.

Since I have been a quiet member of the list, and also not for a long time
either, I felt that I have to say a thankyou.

Keep up the good work.
