30 Nov '11

I really don't want to be autosubscribed to 10 more mailing lists. Can we please open the various ovirt lists? I'm already getting multiple copies of a bunch of emails because of how much things are being cross posted. It's getting fairly frustrating.

oVirt security mailing lists created
by David Jorm 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Hi All I have now finished creating and configuring the two mailing lists for handling oVirt security issues: security(a)ovirt.org and security-private(a)ovirt.org. At the moment, only myself and secalert(a)redhat.com are subscribed to security(a)ovirt.org. Only I am subscribed to security-private(a)ovirt.org. I have created a wiki page explaining the purpose of these lists, inviting reports of security issues and inviting other projects/distributions to subscribe to the lists: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Security As a final step, I would like to see if we can link to the security wiki page from the main navigation menu on the ovirt.org site. I think a new menu item PROJECT -> Security would be appropriate. Is this something we can do? Thanks -- David Jorm / Red Hat Security Response Team

Also, this material will benefit future presenters as they prepare presentations for upcoming events.

by Robyn Bergeron 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Greetings all, It's about time for our weekly IRC meeting. I'm not sure how many people are around this week who are US-based, as we're moving towards our Thanksgiving Holiday here and a lot of people take the day before Thanksgiving off (which just happens to be today). However, I figured we have plenty of non-US based folks, so let's see what we can get done today. Feel free to bring your own topics and we'll collect at the beginning of the meeting. See you there! Cheers, -Robyn oVirt Sync Meeting Agenda Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 15:00 UTC (10:00am US Eastern, 7:00am US Pacific) Invitees: board(a)ovirt.org list subscribers IRC Meeting: * irc.oftc.net in #ovirt Agenda topics include: * Press release status * Upcoming event planning * Moving towards first release, release date feedback * FTP/repository setup status * Other items to be added during open floor in meeting
