Stephen Smalley to speak at SVOSUG on 09/25/08

Wed Sep 10 03:56:24 PDT 2008

Stephen Smalley of the National Security Association will be speaking this 
month at the SVOSUG meeting, on Sept. 25th, at the Sun Santa Clara campus, in 
the room above the auditorium. This is located not far from Montague Expressway 
and 101.

Stephen will 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. Stephen doesn't make it out to 
this coast too often, so I'd like to let folks know ahead of time so they can 
plan ahead.

Flask and Type Enforcement is the technology used in SELinux today, and the 
same technology being worked on for OpenSolaris, where Stephen is sharing the 
lead with John Weeks of Sun Fed on the FMAC project.

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.
