- Photos and detailed report in Japanese and in google translated English
A guy from Nokia said "SELinux is too complicated, too much; TOMOYO looks prmising"
- Wanted: development partners
==> Posters
AppArmor had a BoF at OLS in 2006; TOMOYO is one year behind
- This year was the last chance for TOMOYO to get mainlined
- By the presentation at OLS2007, the chance has survived
A lot of key persons in Linux security, such as LSM maintainer, were at our BoF
- We believe they got aware of TOMOYO
==> Check our review pages for further information
- Presentation at CELF Japan Technical Jamboree opened the way to mainline
- Mainlining proposals
==> Planning described as below
* Memory of OLS2007
- Photo album
- Atmosphere
- Further more casual than ELC; enjoyable air
- We saw not a few attendees sitting on the floor
- Species and size of penguins determines rooms
- Further more casual than ELC; enjoyable air
- Ottawa
- Still light at nine in the evening
- Beautiful city
* Coming mainlining of TOMOYO
- We are on the verge
- We've reached here; we will do our best!
- We are developing TOMOYO, believing it surely helps you
- Please support us!
* Commments
- Mainlining is regarded tough, but it is very meaningful
- It is worth while to try
- Discussion in progress on LKML; we need supporters
- Suggestions such as a use case or ideas would help development
- Please send such supporting messages
- Suggestions such as a use case or ideas would help development
- Culture supportive after somebody posts a patch is desirable
- Enterprises tend to look mainlining easy
- In reality there are repetition of loops of posting and improving
- It takes time
- To get mainlined, it would be better to post code unfinished and controvertible
