// 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-Tran... - http://making-security-measurable.1364806.n2.nabble.com/OVAL-Transition-Plan...
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.
