Minutes

• start with basic survey (Matt-Seba - have results by the Summit)
• automatic list of last activity per chapter to be created (Seba=>Kate)
• follow-up specific mailing towards inactive chapters (Ofer)
• Kate & Seba will be representing GCC @ Summit
• Call for mentors (Seba)
• Chapter success criteria / goals:
  • # meetings
  • # people in mailing list
  • # people attending meetings
  • # active board members
  • membership drive: # owasp supporters - membership - sponsors
  • # media attentation: how to measure? e.g. news.google.com
  • participating in other events
  • providing awareness at local schools & universities
  • I18N, translations...
  • involvement in projects and committees

=> this should be seen as guidance: chapters are different all over the world => we should talk about guidelines and minimal criteria => avoid 'succes criteria', see these as goals

• in general the wiki should be used as placeholder for chapter activity - for reasons of openess, licensing and in general making it easy for people to find their local chapter. Exceptions are acceptable for I18N issues.
