Hi Steve, thanks for taking care of that. We're indeed a bit late in our reflections on this matter and we should come up with a plan for both Wheezy (if still feasible?) and the future. I unfortunately won't be able to make it for the BoF, as I've to leave shortly after DebCamp. But I encourage everyone to participate in the BoF and please work on a report or minutes so that we can have a discussion on list (either here or on -boot) afterwards. For those who are not familiar with the crux of secure boot, here are a few recent references on the matter: - Fedora's plans http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html - Ubuntu's plans http://blog.canonical.com/2012/06/22/an-update-on-ubuntu-and-secure-boot/ (with a more technical discussion of it at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-June/035445.html ) - FSF's paper http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/whitepaper-web Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli zack@{upsilon.cc,pps.jussieu.fr,debian.org} . o .
