Marc,

This is certainly of interest to OSSG.  There were some people talking
about doing security testing before the last summit, but I haven't heard
much about that recently.  Please do join us for the meeting tomorrow and
we can discuss in some more detail.  I'll see if I can encourage the other
parties to participate as well.

Cheers,
-bryan
