  • Our account with SourceForge is now closed.

• OWASP Licenses Update
  • This is the final draft of the letter: Letter.
  • Dr. Gottlieb has responded with a change in license. I have made the necessary changes on our records.

  • I have now closed down the 'Call for Entries' for the Open Source Showcase.
  • We received no applicants for the OSS.
  • The Project Track has 4 interested applicants.
  • We are in the process of sorting out logistics for these potential speakers.

• CTF at our Global AppSec Conferences
  • I spoke with Steven van der Baan about developing a CTF event module for OWASP AppSec Conferences.
  • We agreed that South Korea would have to pass for this year, but that we should aim for having CTF at AppSec USA, Europe, and Latin America.
  • Steven can get time off for USA and Europe.
  • Steven will need funding for hotel and travel expenses. (I will check with the foundation to see if we can do this).
  • The CTF module is scalable and Steven agreed to help us teach other volunteers how to run the event if he can't make it.
  • There is a possibility we can combine the University Challenge module with CTF. I will touch base with Martin after the holidays to see if this is possible.
  • Next Steps: We will begin developing a way to teach back up volunteers how to run CTF Steven's absence.

• New Project Web Page
  • The new Project Page design is now complete.
  • Please review the page, and note down any comments, changes, etc.

• Assessment Criteria, Lifecycle, and Graduation Processes

  • Please review when you get the opportunity, and provide feedback.
  • If there is no feedback, I will assume that the proposal has no objections.
