  • OSS and OWASP Projects Track preparations are currently taking place.

• Salesforce Metadata Migration
  • All project data is now in Salesforce.
  • I continue to work with Kate to finish the migration.
  • We are currently working on creating a template e-mail to send to all active project leaders asking them to update their information.

• Project Promotion Events
  • Simon Bennetts and Jim Manico have registered to give talks at FOSDEM.
  • FOSDEM: Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting.
  • Date: February 2nd -3rd.
  • If their applications are successful, they will have a great opportunity to promote their projects.
  • Simon is promoting ZAP.
  • Jim will be promoting OWASP Projects in general, and using several Reboot 2012 projects as examples of success stories.
  • Main track speakers get costs covered.

• SourceForge Update
  • The sales people finally got back to me.
  • Evidently, we owe them $12,000.
  • Here is the Invoice.
  • Here is the letter regarding the recent purchase of the Media Division of Geeknet.
  • We need to discuss what we are going to do with this.
  • Moreover, we need to discuss how to close this account, and how we are going to migrate existing OWASP users to a different platform.

• Projects Handbook
  • I have made more edits to the new Handbook.
  • I have added an Appendix.
  • The Project Donation agreement is finalised.
  • Flagship Projects: I think I should keep a section in here that describes what flagship projects are, but note that this designation is given by The Foundation? Thoughts?
  • Project Release Review Criteria: I need a bit of help to come up with the technical qualifying criteria for each project category for their reviews.
  • Let's discuss this today, and I can explain the reasoning behind my idea.

• Daily Project based queries and requests
  • This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.

  • Travel queries
  • Budget based questions
  • Funding questions
  • Project based administrative help
  • Project status information
  • Several project donations questions
  • OWASP LinkedIn Updates

More Funding Potential

1. OWASP ESAPI FUNDING PROPOSAL
2. The ESAPI proposal is done: Thank you Jim Manico and Kevin Wall for finalising the technical questions.
3. I am submitting this proposal come Monday.
4. This is for $25,000 from the DHS.
5. I have begun the application for our Google Grant.
6. If we are successful with the Google Grant, we will be awarded $10,000 a month for use in a Google Adwords Campaign.
7. We potentially have another project for 2013 that we may get a much larger grant for from the DHS. (Yet to be determined)
8. DHS wants further involvement with OWASP with funding. (I have contacted Kevin Greene from DHS to set up a meeting. I am waiting to hear back).
9. Thank you Matt Tesauro for putting Kevin and I together.
