====== Capsicum Working Group ======

May 11th 2011, (Wednesday), DMS room TBD

===== Overview =====

As part of the [[DevSummit/201105|May 2011 FreeBSD developer summit]], this working group focused on Capsicum ("Practical capabilities for UNIX"), a new security model shipping in %%FreeBSD%% 9.0.
This was a by-invitation event open to developer summit attendees.

More information on Capsicum can be found at:

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/

The main goals of the workshop are to review the status of Capsicum integration for %%FreeBSD%% 9.0 and 8.3, identify applications for Capsicum conversion, identify gaps in Capsicum functionality, and brainstorm solutions to problems and potential future directions.

===== Topics =====

//Note: general presentations about work you have done that does not require further discussions should be submitted for the %%FreeBSD%% Developers' Summit track at BSDCan (see [[DevSummit/201105|general developer summit page]]).//

Each session should start with a very short intro on the topic followed by discussions, whiteboard session, ... whatever is needed.

If you have a topic you want to talk about or want to be on the list that is not yet, email [[/RobertWatson|RobertWatson]] (rwatson@).
