Message from Project Leader, Larry Conklin: OWASP Code Review Guide

Eoin and I had the great pleasure to present the Code Review Guide 2.0 project at APPSECUSA2013. I want to thank everyone involved in the project and to give you my personal thank you. It was very much an honor to talk about our success and hard work. We are not done but I feel we surprised a lot of people with how much work a few dedicated volunteers have done.

Please don't loose sight of the end but we are getting closer. Below is our wiki pages loaded into a word doc. Yes, it is rough, but we made sure everyone knew it was an early release document. Also my ppt is included attached.

Leaders,

I am very excited to pass the OWASP Podcast baton over to Mark Miller. Mark is a very experienced podcaster who will be taking over as Executive producer and host of the OWASP Podcast.

There will be a little overlap. I will be posting to https://www.owasp.org/download/jmanico/podcast.xml for just three more shows and will end my feed with OWASP Podcast #100 by the end of the year.

Please enjoy the new OWASP Podcast feed from Mark Miller. http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:63303345/sounds.rss will will be the new RSS address for the podcast moving forward.
