• [ Michael] Strategic Goals 2015

• [Tobias] - Project Review committee proposal from Johanna
  • possibly a vote that there are no conflicts and we proceed as outlined in committee 2.0 policy.

• [Tobias] - Profit Share models for AppSec conferences and other OWASP events
  • I would like to talk about profit share for chapters from AppSec conferences and OWASP tour events and chapter days:
    In particular about rules for "profit goal thresholds" and sharing of the profit with chapter budgets.
    The reason for this topic is that over the last few months I received several feedback from chapters that some of the side-effects of the "rules" are confusing or do sound very unfair....
    For that I would like to ask Paul or Laura if you could attend and provide an update on how we currently do this - or if there is a documentation link on the wiki, it would be nice if you could send this round beforehand so people can read it before the meeting. As an alternative, I am also happy to talk with Paul off-list, but I think conferences and events are very important
• [Tobias] - handling of speakers for conferences
  • AppSec conferences - handling of speakers: Someone has brought to my attention the following topic for discussion:
    the question being:
    should we allow the conference team to provide accomodation support to non-keynote speakers?
    (the recommendation I received: "If OWASP wants the AppSec conferences to grow in size I believe that also the hotel expenses for 'normal' speakers should be covered. The current model does not attract better speakers to register as they have to cover all expenses themselves to give a talk, the current model only provides keynote speakers with accommodation. It should not only be an honour to speak at an OWASP conference, we as OWASP should actively support this knowledge sharing by stimulating speakers and meet them with their expenses and take care of the hotel for them. I am aware that in the current model the Appsec conferences are used to generate revenue for the foundation, but I believe that you have to spend money to make money: to invest into the speakers, which in turn will attract more attendees and therefore generate more income.")
