Projects and Programs Intern Weekly Report

Currently Working On

Intern Handbook 2014:
- All week I have been putting together the first Intern Handbook. The first step was to create a table of contents/outline of the handbook.
- Throughout the week I have been slowly adding sections and filling in some information under each section. While it's nowhere near complete, I feel like I have a good start, and some decent work to present to Samantha next week when she gets back from Tokyo.
- Thus far, I have been writing about my experiences within the two internships I have held at OWASP. The goal is to have the handbook published by the completion of this internship, which will mark my one year with OWASP.

Women in AppSec EU Social Media:
- Alternating days with the OSS tweets, I have been tweeting about the need for sponsorship for the Women in AppSec Program for AppSec EU in June.
- These tweets will continue to be sent out until OWASP has enough to send 1-2 women to AppSec EU.
- I am excited to see how this turns out, since the Women in AppSec Program was just a huge success at last year's AppSec USA.

Open Source Showcase Social Media:
- Alternating days with the Women in AppSec tweets, I have been tweeting the call for submissions to the OSS for AppSec EU.
- I will continue to tweet for submissions until the closing date.

Ohloh Repository Reminders:
- I have begun to send out reminder emails to project leaders about creating an Ohloh account for their projects. This week I sent out reminders to all the incubator projects, and I'm getting some responses and new projects are being added weekly now.

'Template Migration Reminder:
- Also for this week, I sent out reminders about the new template that we are migrating to. This week, I sent out reminders to project leaders in Labs projects and already a few new projects have migrated. The new template looks great!

Lessons Learned

This has been a slow week due to the fact that everyone is in Tokyo for AppSec APAC. I have been mostly left on my own to work, which has left me with a lot of quality time with my handbook. I'm hoping I made some good progress to show to Samantha next week. I'm really looking forward to a return to normalcy.

I am running into a small issue with documentation projects on Ohloh, I have had questions about whether having documentation projects on Ohloh is necessary since there is no actual forge to pull from. For now, I am telling project leaders with documentation projects to go ahead and create Ohloh accounts for their projects and rather than link a forge.
