Shorewall Community ... You are likely aware that Tom Eastep, founder and principal developer of Shorewall, recently announced his effective retirement from the Shorewall project after nearly 50 years working in technology and nearly 20 years since he started the project.
While Shorewall as a software product can certainly be described as mature, firewalling in Linux continues to evolve and there is no technical reason why Shorewall cannot continue to evolve along with it. To that end, Tom has identified a small group of core contributors with a history of involvement in the Shorewall project to assume control of the future direction of the project. Be assured that the group has already begun discussions on a variety of issues pertaining to the project. As we better organize ourselves and decide upon courses of action that will affect the broader Shorewall community we will make corresponding announcements. Our intent is to continue to grow the community which Tom has so painstakingly built over the years. In the short term we intend to ensure that Shorewall remains actively maintained and will also work to develop a roadmap for the future development of Shorewall. If you have suggestions or ideas, or wish to participate in the public discussions related to these matters, please make use of the shorewall-de...@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list. As always, bug reports and support requests should be directed to the shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list. For the time being, please continue to direct proposed patches for upcoming beta releases and release candidates to the shorewall-de...@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list. We wish Tom well on his travels and thank him for his many years of dedicated service to the Shorewall Community and larger Free Software and Open Source Community. The Shorewall Project Committee Matt Darfeuille Paul Gear Roberto C. Sánchez Tuomo Soini
