This included two keynote sessions from Gabriel Broner of SGIand Inder Singh from LynuxWorks. The issues that kept recurring were security and standardization. This was a reflection of how wide-open the market place is in open system considerations and user requirements vs. vendor solutions. The third session was the working group meeting for the forum members. The objectives of this meeting were to review the output of the last meeting, to examine the charters of the established subgroups and to identify work items and volunteers .
Further details are available in the minutes to that meeting.
The Security Forum had a very good meeting, generating new material for both documents under development. The architecture work is proceeding well, with new material on patterns. The XSFD is now called the Guide to Security Choices and has been largely restructured.
