-In our Docker container we will use a specific `runc` build which includes [seccomp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/seccomp) and [apparmor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppArmor) support. Hence why our Dockerfile includes `libseccomp-dev` as a dependency (apparmor support doesn't require external libaries). Please refer to [RUNC.md](/RUNC.md) for the currently supported version of `runc` that is used by containerd.

 ## New Projects to the Org.
 
-We are looking to move some of our dependencies used by containerd into the org.  We want to have a simple maintainer model for containerd and any other repository that is added to the org.  Bascially, if you are a maintainer of containerd, you are a maintainer on all of the repos.  We don't want to have separate maintainers for the various parts as we should all share the responsibility for quality and stability for the project as a whole.
