2014 OWASP Project Summit: Need Working Session Ideas!

The 2014 OWASP Project Summit will be taking place during AppSec EU 2014 in Cambridge, UK, and we need your help to make it our best Project Summit yet. We are calling on all OWASP Project Leaders to submit your project to participate in this year’s Summit. The Project Summit is a great opportunity to reach project milestones, as well as receive feedback from the OWASP community by enlisting new volunteers to your project.

Help shape the 2014 Project Summit by submitting to lead a working session. We would also, like your feedback on what tracks and session you would like to see at the Summit. The planning team would like your input on ideas to creating a productive event this year. The Summit team will take your ideas, and develop a comprehensive schedule that suits the needs of our Project Leaders and community.

Help make the 2014 Project Summit in Cambridge a great success for OWASP Projects. Submit your ideas for tracks and sessions to Samantha Groves ([email protected]) and Kait Disney-Leugers ([email protected]).

Open Source Showcase: Demo your Project at AppSec EU 2014!

As part of AppSec EU, the conference organizers are looking for projects to participate in the Open Source Showcase. The Open Source Showcase is a unique event module that allows project leaders and/or project contributors to showcase their work in a demo setting and gain exposure for their projects without the need to conduct a full talk session. The showcase allows a more personal view of the project between attendees.

The guidelines for submitting to the Open Source Showcase are simple: the Open Source Showcase is open to ANY project - not just OWASP projects. The only requirement for submission is that the project must be licensed under an approved Open Source License.

All open source projects are encouraged to apply to take part in the Open Source Showcase at AppSec EU 2014 in Cambridge, UK. The application form can be found here: Submission Form.

If you have additional questions, please contact the AppSec EU 2014 Planning Team ([email protected]).
