I have been involved in mostly the reactive part of security for the
past few years as far as the Linux kernel is concerned, but I am
interested to participate in this at KS if a session is planned. Just
a note, Red Hat is unable to fly me to any summit or conference so I
will need to find some ways to fund my travel. I would love to though.

Thanks, Eugene
