OK then a few words about me : my name's Thomas, 23. I'm french,
currently finishing my studies (computer and network, major security).
The security field I'll work on are the one Seth described (mostly
security updates, security-related areas in Sorcery,...).

I also would like to start a hardened SM project (we talked about this
idea a few days ago) : adding additional options/spells to the distro to
use the various patches and programs improving security, for example to
prevent buffer overflow attacks or add ACL support, and document them.
About documentations, I'd like also to begin some kind of guide to
describe steps and programs config to have a secure base install (PAM,
which Arjan already volunteered to write on ;) , iptables, ...).

Cheers,
Thomas
