As efforts like the Open Source Security Foundation gain traction in the FLOSS ecosystem, the ASF has a unique opportunity to provide guidance to its projects on the topic of security best practices. To facilitate an open and collaborative process, the group would like to request the configuration of a new mailing list, secur...@community.apache.org.
The new list will enable interested participants and members of the ASF share best practices and build a collaborative community around infosec that ultimately should create a more security development environment for Apache projects. If at all possible, I would like to request approval for this new list as soon as possible. Mark would like to reference this week in his ApacheCon keynote, and due to personal travel, I was a bit negligent in getting this request out in a timely manner. This is my fault, and I apologize for the rush request. Thanks, Brian -- Brian Proffitt Member, Apache Community Development PMC Red Hat Open Source Program Office
