Project Description
Hardened Gentoo is a project which oversees the research, implementation, and maintenance of security oriented projects for Gentoo Linux. We are a team of very competent individuals dedicated to bring advanced security to Gentoo with a number of subprojects.

Project Goals
Hardened Gentoo's purpose is to make Gentoo viable for highly secure, high stability production server environments. This project is not a standalone project separated from the rest of Gentoo. Instead, it is intended to be a team of Gentoo developers who are focused on delivering solutions to Gentoo that provide strong security and stability. These solutions will be available in Gentoo once they've been tested for security and stability by the Hardened team.

Contributors
The following people although non-developer are actively contributing to the project:

I Want to Participate
To participate in the Hardened Gentoo project first join the mailing list at. Next, ask if there are plans to support something that you are interested in, propose a new subproject that you are interested in, choose one of the planned subprojects to work on or simply ask if you can help with something. You can also talk to the developers and users in the IRC channel#gentoo-hardenedonirc.freenode.netfor more information or just to chat about the project or any subprojects.

If you think you don't have the knowledge or abilities to help, then try reading the current documents (there are always sections that can be improved or typos which we miss) and when you feel brave enough then try writing those documents you missed. Usually this only requires some internet research on your side and after some documents you'll most probably be able to help with other things you thought you weren't able to help with before.

Also, if you don't have time to actively help by contributing work we will always need testers to maintain the security and stability of the overall product. All development, testing, and productive comments and feedback will be greatly appreciated.
