Welcome to the OWASP Global Projects Page

An OWASP project is a collection of related tasks that have a defined roadmap and team members. OWASP project leaders are responsible for defining the vision, roadmap, and tasks for the project. The project leader also promotes the project and builds the team. OWASP currently has 'over '93' active projects', and new project applications are submitted every week.

This is one of the most popular divisions of OWASP as it gives members an opportunity to freely test theories and ideas with the professional advice and support of the OWASP community. Every project has an associated mail list. You can view all the lists, examine their archives, and subscribe to any project by visiting the OWASP Project Mailing Lists page. A summary of recent project announcements is available on the OWASP Updates page.

OWASP Project Inventory

All OWASP tools, document, and code library projects are organized into the following categories:

Flagship Projects: The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole.

Lab Projects: OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced an OWASP reviewed deliverable of value.

Incubator Projects: OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being fleshed out, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway.

Social Media

We recommend using the links below to find our official OWASP social media channels. These are a great way to keep in touch with the different initiatives going on at OWASP throughout the world. They are all updated regularly by chapter leaders, project leaders, the OWASP Board Members, and our OWASP Staff. If you have any questions or concerns about any of these accounts, please drop us a line using our "Contact Us" form.

Flagship Projects

The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole. After a major review process More info here the following projects are considered to be flagship candidate projects. These project have been evaluated more deeply to confirm their flagship status:

Tools

Code [Health Check January 2017]

Documentation

Labs Projects

OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced a deliverable of value. While these projects are typically not production ready, the OWASP community expects that an OWASP Labs project leader is producing releases that are at least ready for mainstream usage.

Thumbs up

Thumbs up are given to LAB projects showing a steady progress in their development, had very active and continuous releases and commits, regular update of information on their wiki page and have quite complete documentation. These projects are almost ready to become flagship

Incubator Projects

OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being fleshed out, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway. The “OWASP Incubator” label allows OWASP consumers to readily identify a project’s maturity. The label also allows project leaders to leverage the OWASP name while their project is still maturing.

Open Source Project Resources & Services

Please note that some services are 100% free and some have nominal cost.

This page is for OWASP project leaders and details some of the online services that have been found to be useful for OWASP projects.

How to Run a Successful Open Source Project

http://www2.econ.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/ProducingOSS.KarlFogel2005.pdf

GitHub

OWASP is a registered Organisation on GitHub, a free, public directory of Free and Open Source Software and the contributors who create and maintain it.

https://www.github.com/OWASP

If you manage an OWASP project you should:

Register yourself on GitHub
Request that your repository get created by a GitHub admin and that you are made an admin on the repository
Check that the settings are correct for your repositor

Other Free Services

These are all free to open source projects.

http://crowdin.net/ a translation and localization management platform
https://scan.coverity.com/ C/C++/C# and Java static source code analysis

Other Paid For Services

Open for Suggestions and depending on your project budget and/or *Community Engagement Funding.

Please note: Th cost may be covered by the Community Engagement Funding up to $500 if it meets the policy requirements.

 If it is more than $500 or outside policy guidelines, it would require special approval by our Executive Director.

So you want to start a project...

Starting an OWASP project is quite easy, and your desire to contribute and make it happen is essential.

Here are some of the guidelines for running a successful OWASP project:

-Start exploring the actual OWASP projects Inventory. Many projects handle specific areas of security it is a good idea to start looking how other successful projects do this (LABS/Flagship)

-Place your idea or project on the Project Ideas Board. This phase will help you to define the project goals and also explore and exchange with other OWASP leaders and volunteers how to develop the idea into a tangible project

-Explore and research if your idea covers a unique segment in the Security arena. Think of your project as a product, if you really want people using it, think how this project will cover a necessity in the security area you are working on

-Define what kind of project you would like to start. Is it a code, tool or documentation?

-Communicate through the Project leader mailing list about your idea and get feedback and meet potential contributors

-Develop your project based on the type of project. For example if you are willing to start a documentation project, begin by defining a Table of Content and work it through with potential contributors. First of all begin by creating a Road-map for your project. This is essential to submit your project. We highly recommend to read documentation such as "How to start /run a successful Open Source Projects".

Some recommendations on how to start a documentation project Document Guide Project

Importance of a well thought out Road-map

Many Incubator project leaders struggle with creating a realistic planning, which should be based on their available resources and time. A well thought out plan makes a difference between a procrastinating project and a successful one. The important aspect of this is, that the project leader is able to create a plan based on his situation. The following is an example of a Roadmap, which has focused to produce a Documentation first release in a year and a basic outline how they plan to cover 4 essential aspects which are Research & Development, Marketing, Planning and Goals.

"Your [project] roadmap should tell a coherent story about the likely growth of your product. Each release should build on the previous one and move you closer towards your vision. Your roadmap should be convincing and realistic: Don’t speculate or oversell your [project]. Be clear who your audience is: An internal roadmap talks to development, marketing, sales, service, and the other groups involved in making your [project] a success; and external one talks to existing and prospective customers." Extracted from : "[10 Tips for Creating an Agile Product Roadmap]"

Start defining a development, documentation and marketing plan for your project. Set short , medium and long term plans. Include promotion of your project, this is very important in order to engage users and consumers of your project. You can run a single person project, but it's usually best to get the community involved. You should be prepared to support a mailing list, build a team, speak at conferences, and promote your project.

You can contribute existing documents or tools to OWASP! Assuming you have the intellectual property rights to a work, you can open it to the world as an OWASP Project. Please coordinate this with OWASP by Contacting Us.

You should promote your project through the OWASP channels as well as by outside means. Get people to blog about it!

Creating a New Project

Once you have passed the Project Ideas phase, then you will be ready to start a new project

Please submit a new project application here.'

2016 OWASP Project Process

Step 1: New Project Leader submits New Project Request Form it is logged in the system and an alert is sent to the Project Coordinator

Step 2: New Project Request is received and reviewed by Project Coordinator for complete information .It must contain the following information to qualify as an acceptable submission: You will need to gather the following information together for your application:

Project Name,
Project purpose / overview,
Project Roadmap,
Project links (if any) to external sites,
[[Guidelines_for_OWASP_Projects#Project_Licensing|Project License],]
Project Leader name,
Project Leader email address,
Project Leader wiki account - the username (you'll need this to edit the wiki),
Project Contributor(s) (if any) - name email and wiki account (if any),
Project Main Links (if any).
==>For Documentation: A table of Contents
==>For Code: A prototype hosted in an open source repository of your choice.

Step 3: If all information is completed following the minimum criteria for Projects (Code/Tool/documentation), The Project Coordinator notifies the Project Leader that the request has been accepted, and at the same time notifies the Review team that a new project has been submitted, including all the information requested in the project criteria

Step 4: Project Coordinator proceeds to create a new Wiki page for the project including all the information sent by the project leader. project coordinator uses one of these project wiki template:

For Docs: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Documentation_Project_Template
For Code: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Code_Project_Template
For Tool: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Tool_Project_Template

Also Project coordinator creates a mailing list for the project leader and sets him as admin

Step 5: Project Coordinator notifies project leader and Review team about the created wiki page, providing the link to the wiki page.

Review team might provide comments for further improvement of the wiki page if necessary
Project leader should request a wiki account to be able to update his own wiki page afterwards if he has not one yet

Step 6: Project coordinator updates the Wiki project inventory, Dashboard and open hub with the information regarding the new created project

Step 7: Project is set in the agenda by the Project Coordinator for monitoring over the next 3 months to check how has been developing.

Step 8: Every 3 months, project coordinator monitors the activity on the wiki page for new updates and on the Openhub for commits and level of activity . Findings are then reported on the Dashboard as comments and CC through email to the review team

Step 9: if the project has not been updated and has no activities after six months of creation, project coordinator sends an email to the project leader requesting an update and status to see how has been developing, CC: project review team regarding the lack of activity .Findings are then updated on the dashboard.

Step 10: Over the next 6 months the project is monitored again for activity. If no updates have occurred since its inception after 12 months, project is then set as inactive and project leader and review team is notified about the status. Project coordinators updates :

Wiki page of the project is labeled as 'inactive' (inactive banner)
The Project is set under the 'inactive category'
Dashboard is updated with comments and set as inactive

OWASP Recommended Licenses

Why are you recommending these licenses?
Which other open source licenses are eligible for an OWASP project?

Choosing a license under which an artifact is distributed and enforcing the license are prerogatives of the copyright holders over that artifact. By default, each contributor is copyright holder over the contributed piece. Contributors must all agree on the license and cooperate in enforcing it or must assign their copyright to the entity which becomes responsible for choosing and enforcing the license.

OWASP is a collaborative initiative for the public good and most of its output is expected to be functional, rather than aesthetic. The problem OWASP tackles is so large that OWASP acknowledges a need to collaborate with the commercial world. Therefore, in order to become an OWASP Sponsored Project, you should be comfortable with:

Allowing arbitrary uses for your work, for example for commercial purposes. (If you disagree, consider using CC-BY-NC.)
Revealing to the world your project's source code (its form preferred for modification).
Allowing your work, under certain conditions (see below), to be modified by others and redistributed. (If you disagree, consider using CC-BY-ND.)

How to choose a license for artifcts of your OWASP project
Artifact		Under what conditions can your work be modified and redistributed?
Artifact		As long as modifications are licensed in the same spirit	If credit is appropriately given to you	Under any circumstances
Standalone Tool	Run locally	GPL (newest version as of 2016 is 3.0) The "General Public License" protects users' four essential freedoms, among other things by requiring someone who distributes software derived from yours to also publish the source code for the modifications. Anyone can charge money for distributing copies of the software, but cannot prevent its recipients from redistributing it for free. The GPL allows the copyright holders to distribute the software under additional licenses, too, which can be a way to make it proprietary-friendly.	Apache License (newest version as of 2016 is 2.0) Has the fewest restrictions, even allowing proprietary modifications and proprietary forks of your project, and is more up-to-date than the BSD license.	CC0 (newest version as of 2016 is 1.0) The "Public Domain Dedication" means that anybody can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.
Standalone Tool	Consumed over the network	AGPL (newest version as of 2016 is 3.0) The "Affero General Public License" extends the GPL to SaaS: users of the modified software must be able to obtain the source code of the modifications.
Library		GPL or LGPL (newest version as of 2016 is 3.0) The "Lesser General Public License" relaxes the GPL for libraries: if the library is not modified, just integrated (function calls, global variables,...), with other software, it does not require the source code of the other software to be published. The Free Software Foundation recommends the LGPL only for libraries which have established competitors for the same functionality, otherwise they recommend the full GPL.
Document (includes E-Learning, presentations, books etc.)		CC-BY-SA (newest version as of 2016 is 4.0) The "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike" is like the GPL, but for documents.	CC-BY (newest version as of 2016 is 4.0) The "Creative Commons Attribution" is like the Apache License, but for documents.

Funding your Project

An OWASP project does not receive any funding for development at project inception; however, a new project does have the opportunity to submit a request to receive funds if they are available for the year. Additionally, project leaders have the option of seeking sponsorship from outside organizations, but project leaders are required to seek funding through their own initiative.

Project Release

As your project reaches a point that you'd like OWASP to assist in its promotion, the will need the following information to help spread the word about your project:

Short 5 sentence paragraph outlining what your project is about, what you hope to accomplish with your project, what value your project brings to software security, and contributor and project leader names and contact information.
Link to your wiki page.
Link to your code repository or a link to where readers can download your project.
Latest Release description answering the following questions: What is it?, What does it do?, Where can I get it?, Who should I contact if something goes wrong?.

Project Process Forms

These forms were created to help project leaders, and those interested in a going through a process in the OWASP projects infrastructure. They facilitate the management of each query based on the specific task an applicant will need help with. The forms are described below, and they are linked with their designated online application form.

Project Transition Application:The OWASP project transition form gives current project leaders an easy way of handing over project administration information to individuals wishing to take over a project.

Project Review Application:This form is for current project leaders to request a review of their project based on OWASP graduation criteria. The aim is to designate an OWASP volunteer to review these projects within 3 months time.

Project Donation Application:This form is for projects outside of the OWASP project infrastructure. Project Leaders for these open source projects can choose to partner or give their project to OWASP directly through this form.

Project Adoption Request:This form is used when someone is interested in adopting an archived project.

Project Abandonment Request:The OWASP project abandonment form gives current project leaders an easy way of letting the OWASP Foundation know that they wish to resign their project leader duties. This form should be used when no replacement project leader exists to take over these duties.

Incubator Project Graduation Application:This application form is for Incubator Projects to apply for Labs Project status.

Joining a Project...

OWASP projects are community driven and most projects are open for anyone motivated to join.

The first step is to find a project you are interested to be part of. The list of all projects can be found in the Project Inventory. Further steps then depend on the status of the project you selected.

If the project is active, the best way is to join the mailing list and get in touch with the people actively participating. Other ways would be contacting the project leader team or just starting to participate by testing the software, writing blogs or documentation, report issues via tracker or even propose code modifications. In general, the more you show your interest and motivation, the easier it is to find yourself as a member of the team.

Some projects are of low activity or even inactive. In this case there is no possibility to join an existing team, but it would rather be a re-boot. If you feel eager to do this, please contact the general OWASP administrators. It is however important that you are sure about the commitment you are about to make.

Some things are important:

- Don’t be shy. If you wish to be part of the OWASP initiative, you will find a task that suits your experience and your level of possible time investment.

- Baby steps are easier than huge commitments. Just start helping with small tasks and get known by the project team. You will grow into the project in a natural way.

Please read more about the general project workflow on the Starting a New Project page.

OWASP Project Lifecycle

The OWASP Projects Lifecycle represents a balance between keeping a very loose structure around OWASP projects, and ensuring that OWASP consumers are not confused about a project’s maturity and quality. The lifecycle stage allows consumers to easily identify mature projects, and projects that are proofs of concept, experimental, and classified as prototypes in their current state. The greater the maturity of the project, the greater the level of responsibility for the project leader. These responsibilities are not trivial as OWASP provides incentives and benefits (Section 7) for projects who take on these added responsibilities.

The OWASP Project Lifecycle is broken down into the following stages:

Incubator Projects: OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being designed, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway. The “OWASP Incubator” label allows OWASP consumers to readily identify a project’s maturity; moreover, the label allows project leaders to leverage the OWASP name while their project is still maturing. OWASP Incubator projects are given a place on the OWASP Projects Portal to leverage the organizations' infrastructure, and establish their presence and project history.

Lab Projects: OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced a deliverable of significant value. Leaders of OWASP Labs projects are expected to stand behind the quality of their projects as these projects have matured to the point where they are accepted by a significant portion of the OWASP community. While these projects are typically not production ready, the OWASP community expects that an OWASP Labs project leader is producing releases that are ready for mainstream usage. OWASP Labs Projects are meant to be the collection of established projects that have gained community support and acclaim by undergoing the project review process.

Flagship Projects: The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated superior maturity, established quality, and strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole. Eligible projects are selected from the OWASP Labs project pool. This selection process generally ensures that there is only one project of each type covering any particular security space. OWASP Flagship projects represent projects that are not only mature, but are also projects that OWASP as an organization provides direct support to maintaining. The core mission of OWASP is to make application security visible and so as an organization, OWASP has a vested interest in the success of its Flagship projects. Since Flagship projects have such high visibility, these projects are expected to uphold the most stringent requirements of all OWASP Projects.

Code Projects: OWASP code projects are very important for the cyber security solutions. Because these projects are used to find out the application security problems and try to solve those problems.

OWASP Project Stage Benefits

This section outlines the benefits of starting an OWASP project, and the benefits of being at each different stage in the projects lifecycle. In my short time here at OWASP as the PM, I have had several potential project leaders ask me what the benefits are of starting their project with OWASP. Below is my proposal for each Stage’s benefits.

Incubator

Financial Donation Management Assistance
Project Review Support
WASPY Awards Nominations
OWASP OSS and OPT Participation
Opportunity to submit proposal: $500 for Development.

For more detailed information on OWASP Project Stage Benefits, please see the Project Handbook.

Project Monitoring Incubator/Documentation

Every 6 months, a project monitoring assessment takes place to evaluate if projects had any releases during this period.A warning will be sent to projects without any activity in 90 days and after 180 days, the project will be set automatically as inactive. You can set your project active at any time, as long as:

There has been commits to the project's open repository or
There has been a beta release of the documentation produced so far or
Provide a detailed Roadmap

Importance of a well thought out Roadmap

Project Monitoring for LABS/Flagship

These project represent the best OWASP has to offer, therefore monitoring of these projects is closely supervised.

For Code and Tools

For projects holding Flagship status, we closely monitor their health every 6 months on the following, among other key indicators:

Can the project be built correctly?
Does the project has any activity(commits) in the last 6 months?
Does the project had any releases in the last 6 months?
Has the project leaders updated his wiki or website to reflect latest releases?

For Documentation

For this part, we are working on the development of an adequate assessment criteria The following is a draft of the new process proposal: Proposal for Reviewing OWASP Document projects

OWASP Project Graduation

The Project Graduation Process is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Incubator Graduation Form. The purpose of this process is to move a project from the OWASP Incubator into the OWASP Labs. In order to be considered for OWASP Labs, an Incubator project must have submitted an OWASP reviewed deliverable, and obtained at least two (2) positive responses for each of the core criteria project health questions.

The review centers around the following core questions. Each core question has three (3) specific questions made up of binary queries. A project must receive at least two (2) positive responses from each reviewer in two of the binary questions, to warrant a postive response for the core question. Each core question must receive a positive response from both project reviewers to pass the Project Health Assessment for Incubator Projects.

Project Graduation Criteria Checklist

To request graduation for your project please use the Project Graduation Application

OWASP Project Health Assessment

The Project Health Assessment is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader when he/she applies for Project Graduation for projects going from Incubator to LAB and from LAB to Flagship. The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether a project meets the minimum criteria of an OWASP Project outlined in the Project Health Assessment Criteria Document. If a project passes the assessment, it then becomes eligible to graduate into the OWASP Labs Project stage. In order to be considered for OWASP Labs, an Incubator project must have submitted an OWASP reviewed deliverable, and obtained at least two (2) positive responses for each of the core criteria project health questions.

OWASP Project Deliverable/Release Assessment

The Project Deliverable/Release Review is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Project Deliverable Review Form. The purpose of this process is to review a project’s progress, and to make sure the project is heading in the right direction based on the roadmap they provided at project inception.

Reviews must be performed by two (2) OWASP Chapter or Project Leaders, and their review must answer affirmatively to at least the first two (2) core Project Deliverable/Release Review questions. A project must pass the OWASP Project Deliverable/Release Assessment in order to graduate into the OWASP Labs Project stage.

OWASP Project Infrastructure

OWASP Project Lifecycle: The OWASP Projects Lifecycle represents a balance between keeping a very loose structure around OWASP projects, and ensuring that OWASP consumers are not confused about a project’s maturity and quality. The lifecycle stage allows consumers to easily identify mature projects, and projects that are proofs of concept, experimental, and classified as prototypes in their current state.

Incubator Project: OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being fleshed out, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway. The “OWASP Incubator” label allows OWASP consumers to readily identify a project’s maturity. The label also allows project leaders to leverage the OWASP name while their project is still maturing.

Labs Project: OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced a deliverable of value. While these projects are typically not production ready, the OWASP community expects that an OWASP Labs project leader is producing releases that are at least ready for mainstream usage.

Flagship Project: The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole.

Project Benefits: The standard list of resources and incentives made available to project leaders based on their project's current maturity level.

OWASP Project Reviews

Project Reviews: Project reviews are the method OWASP uses to establish a minimal baseline of project characteristics and release quality. Reviews are not mandatory, but they are necessary if a project leader wishes to graduate to the next level of maturity within the OWASP Global Projects infrastructure. Projects can be reviewed when an Incubator project wishes to graduate into the OWASP Labs designation, and project releases can be reviewed if they want the quality of their deliverable to be vouched for by OWASP.

Project Reviewer Pool: The project reviewer pool is made up of veteran reviewers who have proven themselves dedicated to executing quality reviews of projects.

Project Graduation: The Project Graduation Process is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Incubator Graduation Form. The purpose of this process is to move a project from the OWASP Incubator into the OWASP Labs.

Project Health Assessment: The Project Health Assessment is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader when he/she applies for Project Graduation The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether a project meets the minimum criteria of an OWASP Project outlined in the Project Health Assessment Criteria Document.

Project Release: A project release refers to the final deliverable a project produces. It is the final product of the project.

Project Deliverable/Release Review: The Project Deliverable/Release Review is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Project Deliverable Review Form. The purpose of this process is to review a project’s progress, and to make sure the project is heading in the right direction based on the roadmap they provided at project inception.

OWASP Projects Processes

Project Processes: The set of streamlined processes that exist to help projects move smoothly through the OWASP Project Lifecycle.

Project Inception Process: The Project Inception Process is how a brand new idea becomes an OWASP Project. Such projects are labeled as OWASP Incubator projects. The process involves submitting the proposed project name, project leader information, project description, project roadmap, and selecting an appropriate open-source license for the project using the New Project Form on the Projects Portal.

Project Donation Process: The Project Donation Process is used for a project that has an existing functional release, but is not currently associated with OWASP. This process is the primary mechanism by which individuals or organizations can transfer the ownership of their project’s copyright to OWASP.

Project Transition Process: The Project Transition Process is used to transition leadership of a project to a new project leader. This is a simple automated process to transfer the relevant accounts, mailing lists, and other project resources to the new project leader.

Project Abandonment Process: The Project Abandonment Process was put in place for those occasions in which a project leader is no longer able to manage their project, and has not been able to find a suitable replacement for the leader role. Project Abandonment can also occur when the project leader feels his/her project has become obsolete. Under these circumstances, the acting project leader is encourage do submit the Project Abandonment Form found in the Projects Portal.

Incubator Graduation Process: The Incubator Graduation Process is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Incubator Graduation Form. The purpose of this process is to move a project from the OWASP Incubator into the OWASP Labs.

Projects at Conferences

AppSec Conferences: OWASP AppSec conferences bring together industry, government, security researchers, and practitioners to discuss the state of the art in application security. This series was launched in the United States in 2004 and Europe in 2005. Global AppSec conferences are held annually in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Open Source Showcase: The Open Source Showcase is an OWASP AppSec Conference event module designed to give Open Source project leaders the opportunity to demo their projects.

OWASP Project Track: The OWASP Project Track is an OWASP AppSec Conference event module designed to give OWASP Project leaders the opportunity to showcase their projects as an official conference presenter.

OWASP Projects General

OWASP Code of Ethics: The OWASP Code of Ethics are the set of guidelines and principles that the OWASP Foundation expects all of its members and conference attendees to abide by. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be found here in the OWASP About page.

Donate to OWASP Global Projects

OWASP Projects, a global division of the OWASP Foundation, is run under the same world wide not-for-profit charitable status as all the foundation strategic groups. OWASP provides a platform for contributors to share their work while providing them with the project and community support they need throughout their project development. All OWASP Projects are run by volunteers and they rely on personal donations and sponsorship to continue their development. Donate to OWASP Projects, and we promise to spend your money wisely on open source initiatives.

This is how your money can help:

$20 could help us spread the word on the importance of open source initiatives in the Application Security industry.
$100 could help fund OWASP project demos at major conferences.
$250 could help get our volunteer Project Leaders to speaking engagements.

Steps for Project Graduation Review:

Process Starts when Project Leader Requests a Graduation Review this is done through a Project Graduation Application.

Project Coordinator send link to the the Project Review Form for the Project Leader to provide the assessment.

Senior Techinical Coordinator reviews the assessment received and works with the Project Leader if there are any questions. Once reviewed the assessment is passed to the Project Coordinator..

Project Coordinator Reviews the request and adds to the Volunteer Job Board for outreach to the community - http://owasp.force.com/volunteers/GW_Volunteers__Volunteerhttps://www.tfaforms.com/393806sJobListing Once volunteer signs up and chooses a project review then the Project Coordinator sends the link to the Volunteer with instructions to the google doc for the Project Review (Sample DOC)

There will need to be at least two reviewers for each Project Review along with the Senior Technical Coordinator to finalize the results.

Senior Technical Coordinator could process a review if the there is lack of reviewers.

Senior Technical Coordinator/Volunteers has about 2-4 weeks to complete the Project Review .

Senior Technical/ Volunteer works with the Project Leader on any information or questions.

The time to complete can be extended to up to a an additional week.

Senior Technical Coordinator provides recommendations.

Project Coordinator sends Project Review to the community for feedback.

Community Leaders can also process a review if they choose to disagree with the review.

Project Graduation is announced by Connector and other social media

+===Importance of a well thought out Road-map===
-: the document is aimed primarily at technical decision-makers, especially those responsible for operations and security
+Many Incubator project leaders struggle with creating a realistic planning, which should be based on their available resources and time. A well thought out plan makes a difference between a procrastinating project and a successful one. The important aspect of this is, that the project leader is able to create a plan based on his situation. The following is an example of a Roadmap, which has focused to produce a Documentation first release in a year and a basic outline how they plan to cover 4 essential aspects which are Research & Development, Marketing, Planning and Goals.

+"Your [project] roadmap should tell a coherent story about the likely growth of your product. Each release should build on the previous one and move you closer towards your vision. Your roadmap should be convincing and realistic: Don’t speculate or oversell your [project]. Be clear who your audience is: An internal roadmap talks to development, marketing, sales, service, and the other groups involved in making your [project] a success; and external one talks to existing and prospective customers."

+<font size=2pt>
+== Joining a Project... ==
+OWASP projects are community driven and most projects are open for anyone motivated to join.
+The first step is to find a project you are interested to be part of. The list of all projects can be found in the {{#switchtablink:Project_Inventory|Project Inventory}}. Further steps then depend on the status of the project you selected.
+If the project is active, the best way is to join the mailing list and get in touch with the people actively participating. Other ways would be contacting the project leader team or just starting to participate by testing the software, writing blogs or documentation, report issues via tracker or even propose code modifications. In general, the more you show your interest and motivation, the easier it is to find yourself as a member of the team.
+Some projects are of low activity or even inactive. In this case there is no possibility to join an existing team, but it would rather be a re-boot. If you feel eager to do this, please contact the general OWASP administrators. It is however important that you are sure about the commitment you are about to make.
+Some things are important:
+- Don’t be shy. If you wish to be part of the OWASP initiative, you will find a task that suits your experience and your level of possible time investment.
+- Baby steps are easier than huge commitments. Just start helping with small tasks and get known by the project team. You will grow into the project in a natural way.
+Please read more about the general project workflow on the {{#switchtablink:Starting_a_New_Project|Starting a New Project}} page.

+==OWASP Project Lifecycle==
+The OWASP Projects Lifecycle represents a balance between keeping a very loose structure around OWASP projects, and ensuring that OWASP consumers are not confused about a project’s maturity and quality. The lifecycle stage allows consumers to easily identify mature projects, and projects that are proofs of concept, experimental, and classified as prototypes in their current state. The greater the maturity of the project, the greater the level of responsibility for the project leader. These responsibilities are not trivial as OWASP provides incentives and benefits (Section 7) for projects who take on these added responsibilities.
+====The OWASP Project Lifecycle is broken down into the following stages:====
+'''Incubator Projects''': OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being designed, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway.  The “OWASP Incubator” label allows OWASP consumers to readily identify a project’s maturity; moreover, the label allows project leaders to leverage the OWASP name while their project is still maturing. OWASP Incubator projects are given a place on the OWASP Projects Portal to leverage the organizations' infrastructure, and establish their presence and project history.
+'''Lab Projects''': OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced a deliverable of significant value. Leaders of OWASP Labs projects are expected to stand behind the quality of their projects as these projects have matured to the point where they are accepted by a significant portion of the OWASP community. While these projects are typically not production ready, the OWASP community expects that an OWASP Labs project leader is producing releases that are ready for mainstream usage. OWASP Labs Projects are meant to be the collection of established projects that have gained community support and acclaim by undergoing the project review process.
+'''Flagship Projects''': The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated superior maturity, established quality, and strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole. Eligible projects are selected from the OWASP Labs project pool. This selection process generally ensures that there is only one project of each type covering any particular security space. OWASP Flagship projects represent projects that are not only mature, but are also projects that OWASP as an organization provides direct support to maintaining. The core mission of OWASP is to make application security visible and so as an organization, OWASP has a vested interest in the success of its Flagship projects. Since Flagship projects have such high visibility, these projects are expected to uphold the most stringent requirements of all OWASP Projects.
+'''Code Projects''': OWASP code projects are very important for the cyber security solutions. Because these projects are used to find out the application security problems and try to solve those problems.
+== OWASP Project Stage Benefits==
+This section outlines the benefits of starting an OWASP project, and the benefits of being at each different stage in the projects lifecycle. In my short time here at OWASP as the PM, I have had several potential project leaders ask me what the benefits are of starting their project with OWASP. Below is my proposal for each Stage’s benefits.
+'''Incubator'''
+* Financial Donation Management Assistance
+* Project Review Support
+* WASPY Awards Nominations
+* OWASP OSS and OPT Participation
+* Opportunity to submit proposal: $500 for Development.

+== Project Monitoring Incubator/Documentation ==
+Every 6 months, a project monitoring assessment takes place to evaluate if projects had any releases during this period.A warning will be sent to projects without any activity in 90 days and after 180 days, the project will be set automatically as inactive.
+You can set your project active at any time, as long as:
+* There has been commits to the project's open repository or
+* There has been a beta release of the documentation produced so far or
+* Provide a detailed Roadmap
+===Importance of a well thought out Roadmap===
+Many Incubator project leaders struggle with creating a realistic planning, which should be based on their available resources and time. A well thought out plan makes a difference between a procrastinating project and a successful one. The important aspect of this is, that the project leader is able to create a plan based on his situation. The following is an example of a Roadmap, which has focused to produce a Documentation first release in a year and a basic outline how they plan to cover 4 essential aspects which are Research & Development, Marketing, Planning and Goals.
+[[File:RoadmapIncubatorProjectExample2.PNG | 600px]]
+"Your [project] roadmap should tell a coherent story about the likely growth of your product. Each release should build on the previous one and move you closer towards your vision. Your roadmap should be convincing and realistic: Don’t speculate or oversell your [project]. Be clear who your audience is: An internal roadmap talks to development, marketing, sales, service, and the other groups involved in making your [project] a success; and external one talks to existing and prospective customers."

+==Project Monitoring for LABS/Flagship==
+These project represent the best OWASP has to offer, therefore monitoring of these projects is closely supervised.
+===For Code and Tools===
+For projects holding Flagship status, we closely monitor their health every 6 months on the following, among other key indicators:
+*Can the project be built correctly?
+*Does the project has any activity(commits) in the last 6 months?
+*Does the project had any releases in the last 6 months?
+*Has the project leaders updated his wiki or website to reflect latest releases?
+===For Documentation===
+For this part, we are working on the development of an adequate assessment criteria
+The following is a draft of the new process proposal: [[:File:Qualitative_and_Quantitative_Content_Audit.pdf|Proposal for Reviewing OWASP Document projects]]
+== OWASP Project Graduation==
+The Project Graduation Process is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Incubator Graduation Form. The purpose of this process is to move a project from the OWASP Incubator into the OWASP Labs. In order to be considered for OWASP Labs, an Incubator project must have submitted an OWASP reviewed deliverable, and obtained at least two (2) positive responses for each of the core criteria project health questions.
+The review centers around the following core questions. Each core question has three (3) specific questions made up of binary queries. A project must receive at least two (2) positive responses from each reviewer in two of the binary questions, to warrant a postive response for the core question. Each core question must receive a positive response from both project reviewers to pass the Project Health Assessment for Incubator Projects.

+To request graduation for your project please use the [https://owasporg.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/7/create/71 Project Graduation Application]
+==OWASP Project Health Assessment==
+The Project Health Assessment is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader when he/she applies for Project Graduation for projects going from Incubator to LAB and from LAB to Flagship. The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether a project meets the minimum criteria of an OWASP Project outlined in the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AllOCxlYdf1AdG5NZGhzTjZpT1RDcnRibjd0aXhfOUE Project Health Assessment Criteria Document]. If a project passes the assessment, it then becomes eligible to graduate into the OWASP Labs Project stage. In order to be considered for OWASP Labs, an Incubator project must have submitted an OWASP reviewed deliverable, and obtained at least two (2) positive responses for each of the core criteria project health questions.
+==OWASP Project Deliverable/Release Assessment==
+The Project Deliverable/Release Review is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Project Deliverable Review Form. The purpose of this process is to  review a project’s progress, and to make sure the project is heading in the right direction based on the roadmap they provided at project inception.
+Reviews must be performed by two (2) OWASP Chapter or Project Leaders, and their review must answer affirmatively to at least the first two (2) core Project Deliverable/Release Review questions. A project must pass the OWASP Project Deliverable/Release Assessment in order to graduate into the OWASP Labs Project stage.

+= Terminology =
+<font size=2pt>
+== OWASP Project Infrastructure ==
+*'''OWASP Project Lifecycle:''' The OWASP Projects Lifecycle represents a balance between keeping a very loose structure around OWASP projects, and ensuring that OWASP consumers are not confused about a project’s maturity and quality. The lifecycle stage allows consumers to easily identify mature projects, and projects that are proofs of concept, experimental, and classified as prototypes in their current state.
+*'''Incubator Project:''' OWASP Incubator projects represent the experimental playground where projects are still being fleshed out, ideas are still being proven, and development is still underway. The “OWASP Incubator” label allows OWASP consumers to readily identify a project’s maturity. The label also allows project leaders to leverage the OWASP name while their project is still maturing.
+*'''Labs Project:''' OWASP Labs projects represent projects that have produced a deliverable of value. While these projects are typically not production ready, the OWASP community expects that an OWASP Labs project leader is producing releases that are at least ready for mainstream usage.
+*'''Flagship Project:''' The OWASP Flagship designation is given to projects that have demonstrated strategic value to OWASP and application security as a whole.
+*'''Project Benefits:''' The standard list of resources and incentives made available to project leaders based on their project's current maturity level.
+== OWASP Project Reviews ==
+*'''Project Reviews:''' Project reviews are the method OWASP uses to establish a minimal baseline of project characteristics and release quality. Reviews are not mandatory, but they are necessary if a project leader wishes to graduate to the next level of maturity within the OWASP Global Projects infrastructure. Projects can be reviewed when an Incubator project wishes to graduate into the OWASP Labs designation, and project releases can be reviewed if they want the quality of their deliverable to be vouched for by OWASP.
+*'''Project Reviewer Pool:''' The project reviewer pool is made up of veteran reviewers who have proven themselves dedicated to executing quality reviews of projects.
+*'''Project Graduation:''' The Project Graduation Process is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Incubator Graduation Form. The purpose of this process is to move a project from the OWASP Incubator into the OWASP Labs.
+*'''Project Health Assessment:''' The Project Health Assessment is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader when he/she applies for Project Graduation The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether a project meets the minimum criteria of an OWASP Project outlined in the [https://docs.google.com/a/owasp.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AllOCxlYdf1AdG5NZGhzTjZpT1RDcnRibjd0aXhfOUE#gid=1 Project Health Assessment Criteria Document].
+*'''Project Release:''' A project release refers to the final deliverable a project produces. It is the final product of the project.
+*'''Project Deliverable/Release Review:''' The Project Deliverable/Release Review is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Project Deliverable Review Form. The purpose of this process is to review a project’s progress, and to make sure the project is heading in the right direction based on the roadmap they provided at project inception.
+== OWASP Projects Processes ==
+*'''Project Processes:''' The set of streamlined processes that exist to help projects move smoothly through the OWASP Project Lifecycle.
+*'''Project Inception Process:''' The Project Inception Process is how a brand new idea becomes an OWASP Project. Such projects are labeled as OWASP Incubator projects. The process involves submitting the proposed project name, project leader information, project description, project roadmap, and selecting an appropriate open-source license for the project using the New Project Form on the Projects Portal.
+*'''Project Donation Process:''' The Project Donation Process is used for a project that has an existing functional release, but is not currently associated with OWASP. This process is the primary mechanism by which individuals or organizations can transfer the ownership of their project’s copyright to OWASP.
+*'''Project Transition Process:''' The Project Transition Process is used to transition leadership of a project to a new project leader. This is a simple automated process to transfer the relevant accounts, mailing lists, and other project resources to the new project leader.
+*'''Project Abandonment Process:''' The Project Abandonment Process was put in place for those occasions in which a project leader is no longer able to manage their project, and has not been able to find a suitable replacement for the leader role. Project Abandonment can also occur when the project leader feels his/her project has become obsolete. Under these circumstances, the acting project leader is encourage do submit the Project Abandonment Form found in the Projects Portal.
+*'''Incubator Graduation Process:''' The Incubator Graduation Process is an optional process undertaken at the request of a project leader using the Incubator Graduation Form. The purpose of this process is to move a project from the OWASP Incubator into the OWASP Labs.
+== Projects at Conferences ==
+*'''AppSec Conferences:''' OWASP AppSec conferences bring together industry, government, security researchers, and practitioners to discuss the state of the art in application security. This series was launched in the United States in 2004 and Europe in 2005. Global AppSec conferences are held annually in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
+*'''Open Source Showcase:''' The Open Source Showcase is an OWASP AppSec Conference event module designed to give Open Source project leaders the opportunity to demo their projects.
+*'''OWASP Project Track:''' The OWASP Project Track is an OWASP AppSec Conference event module designed to give OWASP Project leaders the opportunity to showcase their projects as an official conference presenter.
+== OWASP Projects General ==
+*'''OWASP Code of Ethics:''' The OWASP Code of Ethics are the set of guidelines and principles that the OWASP Foundation expects all of its members and conference attendees to abide by. A copy of the Code of Ethics can be found here in the [[About_The_Open_Web_Application_Security_Project#Code_of_Ethics|OWASP About page]].
+= Sponsorships and Donations  =
+<font size=2pt>
+==Donate to OWASP Global Projects ==
+OWASP Projects, a global division of the OWASP Foundation, is run under the same world wide not-for-profit charitable status as all the foundation strategic groups. OWASP provides a platform for contributors to share their work while providing them with the project and community support they need throughout their project development. All OWASP Projects are run by volunteers and they rely on personal donations and sponsorship to continue their development. Donate to OWASP Projects, and we promise to spend your money wisely on open source initiatives.
+'''This is how your money can help:'''
+* $20 could help us spread the word on the importance of open source initiatives in the Application Security industry.
+* $100 could help fund OWASP project demos at major conferences.
+* $250 could help get our volunteer Project Leaders to speaking engagements.

+PROJECT REVIEWS RESTART November 2016
+Steps for Project Graduation Review:
+Process Starts when Project Leader Requests a Graduation Review this is done through a [https://owasporg.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/7/create/71 Project Graduation Application].
+Project Coordinator send link to the the Project Review Form for the Project Leader to provide the assessment.
+Senior Techinical Coordinator reviews the assessment received and works with the Project Leader if there are any questions. Once reviewed the assessment is passed to the Project Coordinator..
+Project Coordinator Reviews the request and adds to the Volunteer Job Board for outreach to the community - http://owasp.force.com/volunteers/GW_Volunteers__Volunteerhttps://www.tfaforms.com/393806sJobListing
+Once volunteer signs up and chooses a project review then the Project Coordinator sends the link to the Volunteer with instructions to the google doc for the Project Review (Sample DOC)
+There will need to be at least two reviewers for each Project Review along with the Senior Technical Coordinator to finalize the results.
+Senior Technical Coordinator could process a review if the there is lack of reviewers.
+Senior Technical Coordinator/Volunteers has about 2-4 weeks to complete the Project Review .
+Senior Technical/ Volunteer works with the Project Leader on any  information or questions.
+The time to complete can be extended to up to a an additional week.
+Senior Technical Coordinator provides recommendations.
+Project Coordinator sends Project Review to the community for feedback.
+Community Leaders can also process a review if they choose to disagree with the review.
+Project Graduation is announced by Connector and other social media
