Yes, I'd be very interested in such a conference.  As I read through
your list of items, I kept thinking..."Yes, I need that".  I'm in
Norfolk, Virginia and would prefer Tysons, Corner.  

I would need some lead time to get funding in place as funding is
difficult these days.

If you plan to do this, how will it be advertised...I want to make sure
I hear about it.

Oh yes...the sooner the better.

Thanks,

Bill

Subject: Interested in a SCAP Security Guide / STIG hack session?

Over the past few months there has been a good bit of off-list chatting
about hosting a hack session/meetup for the SSG. With the recent DISA
publication of the draft STIG the timing seems right.

So, would anyone be interested in meeting up where we could do things
like:
     - Share knowledge on the installation of SSG. How do I run a scan? 
How do I customize settings? How do I get a report that I can show my
ISSE/ISSM? How do I generate a Certification Test Plan, based off my
customized rules?

     - Go a bit deeper, and understand how the code works. What is
XCCDF? OVAL? OCIL? How do I add my own custom rules?

     - Prep your environment to submit patches back to the SSG. How do I
setup git? How do I create a FedoraHosted account?

     - Chat about what additional profiles are needed. How should we
handle CNSSI 12-53? What about PCI compliance?


I'd like to specifically go through the RHEL6 STIG content, performing 
scans and generating C&A artifacts. Part of the idea on this would be 
attendees could take this setup home and use it to start providing 
feedback against the draft STIG.

What do you guys think? Good idea? What topics should be covered?

Jeff and I were chatting, and we'll likely be able to host either at the

Red Hat office in Tysons Corner, VA, or at the IAD Mobility Lab in 
Annapolis Junction, MD. And there's nothing saying we wouldn't do two 
sessions, one per location.... we can work all that out once 
topics/agenda get sorted.

I think this is an *outstanding* idea.  Most of my experience with the
STIGs was tied to the old SRR scripts, and the learning curve on the new
format has been steep.  I'd also suggest to cover topics that have been
addressed here a bit such as :
  False positives (both identification of said and how to refer
suggestions/fixes back to SSG/Disa)
