الوصف

(Russell Coker) NSA Security Enhanced Linux (SE Linux) first became known to the Linux community at Ottawa Linux Symposium 2001. I planned to spend a few weeks working on it but ended up spending 20 years, and the work continues.

I will describe how my skills as a Linux programmer developed while SE Linux improved, how things could have been done better in retrospect, the ways that my initial plans didn't match reality, and how a few weeks changed to 20 years.

This talk is aimed at an audience of beginner to intermediate level. I hope that someone at an early stage of their Linux career will watch this and feel inspired to get in at the start of a major project and develop their skills as the project progresses. But I think that experts will find it interesting.
