Hi all,

Yesterday, while researching Web OS related topics, I came across the
GNUCitizen[1] site. The site focuses primarily on security issues and
after some browsing around, I came across an interesting little
contest they're running - with the winners receiving some exposure on
their site and a book entitled "Cross Site Scripting Attacks: Xss
Exploits and Defense."[2]

The description of the contest[3] is:

"For the month of August we are going to collect various pieces of
work that inspire the hacker spirit. This means that we except[4]
projects that are creative, clever, unique, provocative, intelligent,
intense, intriguing or simply interesting."

Unfortunately, the contest ends today.

If you think that Atomic OS[5] is a worthwhile entry, please send an
email (saying why) to contact-at-gnucitizen.org and
group-at-gnucitizen.org

If you're unfamiliar with my project, the quick description can be
found from it's Project Summary at SourceForge:

"Atomic OS is a responsive Web 2.0 operating environment & development
platform. Based on AJAX techniques, it emulates/provides standard
operating system features including a command-line shell, interpreter,
filesystem, database access and GUI services."

Thanks in advance - I know it's just a book, but it is a book that
could help me secure AOS. ;-)

Take care all,
- Scott
