Hi Sven, all, Sven Haardiek has taken over maintenance of the GreenboneOS page in the Debian derivatives census. Thanks and welcome to the census! Sven, would you like to take this opportunity to introduce yourself and your role within GreenboneOS to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/GreenboneOS?action=diff&rev1=10&rev2=11 It would be great if you could bring your census page into sync with the template and fill in as many of the fields as you have data for. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusTemplate It would be great if you could join our mailing list and IRC channel: https://wiki.debian.org/DerivativesFrontDesk I would encourage you to look at Debian's guidelines for derivatives: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines You may want to look at our census QA page, some of the mails from there may apply to GreenboneOS. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You may want to subscribe to the GreenboneOS census page: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/GreenboneOS?action=subscribe Have you considered making the open source parts of the GreenboneOS apt repository public? This would allow Debian to automatically present the changes to patched packages to the Debian maintainers for merging. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Integration#Patches The GreenboneOS blog is now aggregated on Planet Debian derivatives, which helps the Debian community find out the things that are happening in the world of Debian derivatives. http://planet.debian.org/deriv/ This year the annual Debian conference is in Montreal, Canada. Unfortunately it is very close to the start of the conference so you probably won't be able to attend this year, but next year is in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It would be great if developers from GreenboneOS are attending DebConf17 or could attend DebConf18. https://debconf17.debconf.org/ https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18 I would encourage Greenbone Networks (the GreenboneOS corporate sponsor) to contribute financially to ensure the continued survival of Debian and the success of the annual Debian conference. https://debconf17.debconf.org/sponsors/become-a-sponsor/ https://debconf.org/sponsors/ https://www.debian.org/donations https://www.debian.org/partners/ I would encourage any attendees to volunteer to ensure the continued the success of the annual Debian conference, here are some examples of things that need helpers. https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/VolunteerCoordination I note that GreenboneOS is based on Debian stable. The Debian community recently released Debian stretch. I would encourage you to review it and prepare your plans for rebasing on stretch. https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170617 A great way to help ensure that the next Debian release is working well is to install and run the how-can-i-help tool and try to work on any issues that come up. https://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=837 https://packages.debian.org/unstable/how-can-i-help https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help You might want to consider adding DNSSEC to your domains, TLSA records and SSL to all of your domains. SSL on the apt repository will help GreenboneOS users to obscure package names and version numbers from global active adversaries. You may want to add more headers: http://dnsviz.net/d/greenbone.net/ https://securityheaders.io/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenbone.net%2F&followRedirects=on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Guidelines/Web_Security Please feel free to circulate this mail within the GreenboneOS team. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
