The final FOSDEM speaker interviews

The last set of FOSDEM speaker interviews has been posted; the subjects this time are Andrew Tanenbaum, Benoît Chesneau, Lindsay Holmwood, and Elena Reshetova, speaking on Maemo 6 security. "The main advantage of our security framework architecture is that we don't have any special 'security APIs' by default. For example, there is no secure_fopen() instead of fopen(), which should make the developer's life much easier. The only main change for most applications will be the creation of an additional file inside a Debian package, which we call the 'Aegis Manifest File'. This file declares the needed access control rights for the application, and it will be explained in more details in the presentation."
