OWASP Board Candidate

Global

While the candidates are either from North America or Europe and have contributed significantly to OWASP, I would like to highlight the many contributions made by South America, EMEA and Asia Pacific.

Governance

Board

I believe that during the term of a Board Member that they should disassociate themselves from leadership position of their Chapters and Projects of OWASP with the option to contribute during their term but not in a leadership capacity.

I also believe that funding for Board Members to travel should not be approved.

Projects

I believe that Project Leaders should be able to determine their own level of quality which the consumer can measure based on published peer review. As expected, those who require funding from OWASP to market their project or increase its quality should be subject to project management.

I believe that those who contribute to an OWASP Project should be credited as such irrespective of their employer.

Significant Experience

I have founded a number of groups in Australia, including Snort User Group and Australian Information Security Association with over 1000 members.

I also initiated the OWASP relationship with Mozilla during Hack in the Box Amsterdam in 2010.

Commercial Independence

I am not associated with any vendor and/or consultancy and therefore my agenda is *not* to exploit OWASP for commercial gain.
