Hello,
See -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Pune_Security_1
On 1’st Nov 2014, we plan to host a Fedora Activity Day(FAD) focused at assessing the state of Security in Fedora distribution. The day would start with a brief introduction to Fedora security and progress towards collective security bug triage and other activities. If you are in Pune(India) or plan to be here on 1st Nov, please feel free to drop in and join the action. Note:- we have limited capacity(=~25) for participants, please do register on the wiki page above.
Not too long ago, the Fedora Security Team came to be with the sole intention to improve the state of security in Fedora distribution. Primary goal was to help triage the security bugs and spread awareness.
See -> https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/security/2014-July/001948.html
But in the light of the recent upheavals caused by the deadly and the viral security dynamite of the Heartbleed, the Shellshock, and the POODLE[1] flaws, it is only logical to brace ourselves and work towards greater efforts to make Fedora _secure_ by default. Many distributions have taken focused efforts towards this end for decades now,

Idea is to increase the number of eye balls looking at the Fedora security so that the flaws become shallow. And your poodle’s hearts are saved from bleeding caused by the shocks that are still hidden in the future.
Hope to see you there. 🙂
