// 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-Transition-Plan-Announcement-td7587501.html

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.

Blake
