We talked about the BMC initial setup, aka provisioning.
We also discussed ideas about how to secure the BMC against having a 
default password. The top two ideas were:
1. Have the password be expired, so the BMC admin has to change it to 
use the BMC.
2. Have the BMC start in a new "setup mode" which encourages its admin 
to change its password.

We went around the room, and several folks mentioned interest in the 
DMTF's Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM ~ 
https://www.dmtf.org/content/spdm-spec-feature).  I've added that topic 
to the agenda.

Only I stated an interest in providing security-related input to the 2.7 
release process.  So I will send that email with only my name on it..
