Would fredora like to be to mentoring organization for such a project?
If so, I'd be happy to tell you more about my project.

<pre wrap="">OK, if I understand you right, I shall tell more about my project. My
first question was wether fredora would mentor a project not directly
connected to the fredora distribution. But more about my proposal:
The idea is an udev based authentication using an usb-stick. This means
following: I put the stick into the pc, then, if a loginmanger is
started, it will automaticly open a graphical session. If not, a shell
based session will start. I think I could add interesting expands to
that, such as automaticly open encrypted devices... I'd realize this
(means: writing patches for common dm, write the udev rule and so on)
and write config tools. If you want, I sent you a complete spec of what
I'd be going to do.

This sounds interesting, consider auto-locking of the session (via
xscreensaver and/or vlock) when the USB stick is removed (just a random
idea I've been carrying around with me for a while). I could imagine
that you could do that within the "Fedora project space", but I'm not
the one doing decisions. Anybody else?

Yeah, who's the guy that decides this?<br>
