And on that note, it is time to consider when & where we will hold the 
next LSM BOF (Birds of a Feather). We can have more than one, but if 
they become disjoint, they may reach divergent conclusions. Here's my 
shopping list of candidates:

    * Can Sec West: May 1-3, Vancouver BC, Canada http://cansecwest.com/
          * I am speaking on Immunix in general, including LSM
    * IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy: May 12-15, Oakland
      California http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP02/sp02index.html
          * This is the leading academic security conference, and as
            such has some great stuff, but can be rather theoretical.
          * But, it looks like they have a rather practical program this
            year
            http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP02/sp02prelimprogram.html
    * USENIX Annual Technical Conference: June 10-15, Monteray
      http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/
          * Not specifically about security, but there are several
            security papers in the program
            http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/techonefile.html
    * Ottawa Linux Symposium: June 26-29, Ottawa, Canada
      http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2002/
          * OLS has accepted Chris Wright's proposal for an LSM session.
          * Russel Coker has a talk on packaging SELinux for Debian
          * Greg KH has a speaking slot, but not on LSM
    * USENIX Security: August 5-9, San Francisco
      http://www.usenix.org/events/sec02/
          * At least one LSM paper was submitted. We find out in a week
            if USENIX Security accepts.

I am probably going to all of these conferences. I am definitely going 
to CanSecWest, Oakland, and USENIX Security.

So, among those who would attend/care about/speak at an LSM BOF, hand up 
if you are planning to go to any of these conferences. We can toss a BOF 
where ever we get critical mass. Any other suggestions?
