> As described in the meeting notes from DC, a great idea was put up to
> use working groups to discuss and explore ideas which haven't easy
> solutions. There are four working group lists setup. Each will need a
> leader and for most we're asking for volunteers.
>
> The group leader will be responsible for steering or sparking
> discussion, kicking any overtly disruptive posters, and steering toward
> a coherent outcome within the timeframes available. This is a pretty low
> maintenance position so please consider volunteering.
>
> Membership in each working group is open to anyone. These are on
> separate lists primarily to keep the main oisf lists from turning into
> spam engines. If you have any interest or anything you might be able to
> contribute to a discussion please consider hopping on and at least
> listening to each group.

> The groups setup are:
>
> 1. IP Reputation
> I've taken lead on this group as it's near and dear to my heart. We'll
> be discussion the categories of reputation to track, methods, feedback
> vetting, etc.
>
> 2. Non-Standard Acceleration
> The use of OpenCL or Cuda to accelerate the engine using standard
> graphics cards and chipsets.
>
> 3. Rules Language
> This group will discuss the options for a new language in the future,
> whether the snort syntax would be extendable enough to support our new
> methods, and how to avoid major divergence. A secondary task will be to
> discuss whether to and how to offer rule obfuscation for rule writers
> that have legal requirements to not disclose vulnerability details.
>
> 4. DDoS/Portscan
> This group will determine whether we need a new portscan preprocessor,
> and whether it would be feasible to build a new DDoS preprocessor.
>
> You can see all of these lists here along with more detailed descriptions.

> We need group leaders for groups 2-4. Please email me directly if you're
> interested in helping out!
