2017 Year In Review

With 2017 coming to an end in a little over a week, it’s a good time to look back on what the SELinux, audit, and libseccomp projects have accomplished this year, and recognize the contributors that made it all possible.

In 2017 we had five Linux Kernel releases, one SELinux userspace release, ten audit userspace releases, and two libseccomp releases.

An Open Source project is only as good as it’s contributors, so I want to thank everyone who contributed code in 2017, as well as those who contributed code that hasn’t yet made it into the main repositories (unfortunately not represented in the lists below).

Contributors to the audit kernel code base (sorted by number of commits). Unfortunately I’m unable to include the audit userspace contributors as the audit userspace git log is not a reliable source of contributor information for 2017.
