Excellent. I'll be attending OLS too like every year. I'm not sure if you
were there last year at the LSM BOF. I'd be very interesting in having
a BOF on selinux. I had a long and extensive talk with P. Loscocco last year
about several issues they might address before porting to LSM (which has 
already happened). I've been working very closely with B+ systems from Argus 
on Solaris and thus I hope to be able to give some valuable input. I also 
like to talk about a possible clean meta policy configuration description
for LSM/selinux since I've got a very clean, stripped and secure linux
distro handy, which has been developed by 3 people over the course of 2 
years. This is namely the biggest problem when dealing with C2 and upwards
systems. It should be possible though to write a kind of matrix and a 
translation function to reflect the security policy needed for a certain
application framework. This would leed to widely adaption of LSM/<put your
favourite MAC/TE/ACL implementation in> for commercial purposes.

I certainly hope that Stephen Smalley and Pete Loscocco will be attending
OLS too so we might have other interesting talks while having a cool beer.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you at OLS,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
