    • I have begun categorizing our OWASP projects into the Builder, Breaker, and Defender categories.
    • Currently, our categorization is limited so I have begun to increase the search criteria for our projects.
    • Additionally, I have begun to label our projects based on OWASP Open SAMM criteria.
    • The labels are as follows: Governance, Construction, Verification, Deployment.
    • The plan is to allow users to find projects based on these labels on our projects wiki page.
  • OWASP Project Leaders: Brand Usage Guidelines
    • I have begun developing brand usage guidelines for our project leaders with Jim Manico's help.
    • We have decided to use the Apache Software Foundation's documentation on the subject as a guide for our own.
    • We feel they developed excellent material, and we plan to use their guidelines as a starting point.
    • I spent this week putting together our OWASP Project Leader Brand Usage Guidelines.
  • Project Leader Responsibilities & Expectations
    • I have finished putting together documentation that outlines a project leader's responsibilities, and our foundation's expectations of them.
    • This document was written to help project leaders understand their responsibilities as managers of their project(s).
  • Project Wiki Templates
    • I am working towards developing new wiki templates for our OWASP Projects.
    • Leaders have expressed frustrations with our current templates as they are not very user friendly.
    • Our PLs also need to let our consumers know at which stage a project is in within our OWASP Projects Infrastructure.
    • Development is ongoing.
  • Project Leader Cheat Sheet
    • I am currently developing a "How to run a successful OWASP Project" document.
    • I hope this document will help project leaders understand how to best leverage the OWASP Project Infrastructure for success.
    • This is an ongoing project.
    • I will have a first draft of this completed by the end of next week.

    • Sarah and I are working on transitioning the workflow for the 3rd phase of our marketing plan.
