Thanks to Rik van Riel
for this announcement.

I’m glad to announce that the plans to create a secure Linux
distribution my employer and I
had have solidified as a direct result of the exposure on LWN.net.

Of course any effort as important as a new, security minded,
distribution should be mostly community based, but it will need
some entity to do the hard work of starting up the project and
providing coordination and an infrastructure to support the
project.

We are looking for people, organisations and businesses wanting
to help with creating the secure Linux distribution. Mailing lists
and web space will be provided shortly, in the mean time people can
take a look at the full announcement and plan at:
