What’s New with Xen Project Hypervisor 4.8?
- johnnycarcin 10y agoInteresting (to me at least) to see the NSA in the list of contributors. Do they help out any other large open source projects?
- kbenson 10y agoSELinux is probably one of the most well known. They appear to have a technology transfer program[2], but i'm not sure that's been allowed in open source in any way. They have a Github repo[3], unless that's a hoax of some sort. It seem legit on a very cursory glance. Other google results seem to indicate the projects in that repo are named the same as some projects the NSA has open sourced publicly. I imagine they contribute bits and pieces to quite a few projects that they use in-house. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux 2: https://www.nsa.gov/what-we-do/research/technology-transfer/ https://www.nsa.gov/what-we-do/research/technology-transfer/ 3: https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency
- merb 10y agoamazon is one of the biggest xen player but does not contribute, so sad.
