Secure Coding Mailing List Charter
29 January 2004 Introduction This document describes the mission and use of the Secure Coding mailing list. It is subject to change without notice, and will be maintained for all to see on the SecureCoding.org web site at http://www.securecoding.org/list/charter.php. Mission The Secure Coding (aka "SC-L" and "SC-L-DIGEST") mailing list's mission is to further the state of the practice of developing secure software, by providing a free and open, objectively moderated, forum for the discussion of issues related to secure coding practices throughout a software development lifecycle process (including architecture, requirements and specifications, design, implementation, deployment, and operations). Acceptable Use Policy SC-L and its digest-mode counterpart, SC-L-DIGEST, may be used to discuss matters directly or indirectly related to the practice of developing secure software. Acceptable topics include the following:
SC-L is NOT to be used for any of the following purposes:
Above all else, civility will be exercised in the discussions here. If you want to use a tone of discussion that you wouldn't use with your {spouse|parents|high school teacher|best friend|etc}, then don't use it here. You will find that the moderator's patience for incivility is very short. The two most common problems on large email lists are "user unknown"/"mailbox full" bounce messages and vacation programs that reply to either the mailing list itself or each person that submits an email to the list. PLEASE: If you are going on vacation or will otherwise not be able to get to your email for a while, unsubscribe from the list and then re-subscribe when you return. Further, if you are changing email addresses (e.g., job change), PLEASE change or remove your subscription to the list. It will greatly appreciated by both your moderator as well as your fellow members of the list. Moderation SC-L is a moderated list; SC-L-DIGEST is identical in content to SC-L, but is delivered in (more or less) daily digests to the subscribers. All submissions will be reviewed and judged qualitatively against these policy guidelines. Further, submissions are only considered from registered members of this list -- although the list is open to the general public. The moderator is the final decision authority on whether or not to accept any and all submissions. If you feel that your submission to the list has been unfairly rejected, you may (politely) appeal to the moderator and state your case as to why your submission should be accepted. Nonetheless, as stated, the moderator will make the final determination. Any list member that violates any of the usage policies will first be warned of the violation. The moderator retains the right to remove (and blacklist) repeat offenders. Archives List archives are currently available at http://lists.virus.org/ (Our thanks to the folks at virus.org for graciously providing this free service.) Copyright All submissions to SC-L and SC-L-DIGEST are considered to be in the public domain, unless otherwise noted (and accepted by the moderator), and are on an as-is basis with no warranty whatsoever. Cheers, Kenneth R. van Wyk Moderator, SC-L ken@securecoding.org
