Major Initiatives
Initiative | Priority | Associated Goals | Description | Status | Deadline | Assignees |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revise GCC Governance | 1 | 8 | Generate self governance document for voting rules, quorum and other functional committee requirements | Complete - Global Conferences Committee Governance | January 2011 | All Committee Members |
OWASP Conference Management System (help) | 1 | 1, 3 | Develop a system to take in applications for all non-chapter meeting events, vet them, and schedule them. This system shall serve as the "official" registration path for all events and allow the GCC to get a firm grip on the OWASP Event Calendar. | Preparing for Release | Release - 3/5/2011 | Mark (Code), Lucas & Neil (Alpha Testing, Requirements) |
OWASP Global Conference Sponsors | 2 | 3, 7 | Provide unified sponsorship mechanism for all Global AppSec conferences. This will help us plan our conference revenue annually and help sponsors plan for their spending (identified as an issue by several vendors). This is intended to augment, not replace individual conference sponsorships. | Released 2011 Global Sponsorship Packages | Feb 2011 | Richard, All Review |
OWASP AppSec Track | 3 | 2 | Joint venture with the GPC. The track would consist of a cadre (10-20) of speakers from inew/high profile OWASP projects. The GCC would manage these speakers through an internal call for papers that would be vetted by the GCC/GPC for some of our best speakers from high profile projects. As a new conference requests an OWASP Speaking track (or for Global AppSec conferences, this will be required) the GCC would reach out to the selected presenters to verify their availability for the event and provide a list of 6-7 speakers to the local event coordinators for the schedule. | Planning for AppSecUSA release in Sept. | June 2011 | Ralph |
OWASP Marketing at Conferences | 3 | 4,5,6 | Promote OWASP at targeted industry and developer events. Provide OWASP support and schwag for OWASP booths at other conferences | Applications accepted via OCMS | In progress | Mark |
OWASP Conference Marketing - Attendees | 3 | 4,5,6 | Provide additional mechanisms for marketing conferences to attendees | None | TBD | Neil |
OWASP Conference Marketing - Sponsors | 3 | 4,5,6 | Provide additional mechanisms for marketing conferences to Sponsors | None | TBD | Neil, Richard |
Conference Web Marketing | 4 | 3 | Obtain Twitter accounts, domain names, and @owasp.org email addresses for use by approved conferences. See Conference Planner Resources | Complete | Complete | Mark |
Central Conference Support Services | 4 | 3 | RegOnline is setup. Investigate costs for hiring a conference organizer. | RegOnline - Complete Conference Organizer - Investigate |
TBD | All |
OWASP Short URLS | 5 | 3 | Provide short URLs on the OWASP website (e.g. https://owasp.org/AppSecBR) to make it easier to access content on the wiki, especially in emails and the like | Need to investigate with Larry | TBD | Ralph |
Regional targeted mailing lists | 5 | 3 | Provide email lists for targeted, regional email distributions. Only GlobalAppSec conferences will be advertised on OWASP-ALL | Need to investigate leveraging Salesforce for this. | TBD | Ralph |
OWASP Merchandise Model | 6 | 3,9 | Provide OWASP Merchandise for sale at conferences | May be a bit OBE as Kate has established something similar already. May just need an "inventory" we can send places. | TBD | None |
