// Pardon the cross post.
Hi,
This message is one part informational, one part request for feedback.
// Information
It was recently announced that the MITRE OVAL Repository will no longer
take submissions after July 31, 2015, but will likely stay active in a
read-only mode for several months after that date. A new community-driven
OVAL repo is being stood up on GitHub. The long form version of the above
can be found here:
-
http://making-security-measurable.1364806.n2.nabble.com/OVAL-Repository-T...
-
http://making-security-measurable.1364806.n2.nabble.com/OVAL-Transition-P...
The new repo can be found here
https://github.com/CISecurity/OVALRepo and
contains OVAL definitions along with a set of tooling and docs for QA'ing,
searching, and bundling OVAL definitions.
// This is where you come in.
We're looking for folks to clone the repo
<
https://github.com/CISecurity/OVALRepo/blob/master/README.getting.repo.md>,
run through the tooling setup
<
https://github.com/CISecurity/OVALRepo/blob/master/scripts/README.md>,
submit changes to repos, and open issues
<
https://github.com/CISecurity/OVALRepo/issues> for
tasks/bugs/scripts/workflows/docs that need some love.
Thanks for your time and happy SCAP'ing.
Blake
