--VerSprite 22:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Thanks to all those who attended our June 3rd meeting. From the various feedback received, it was truly a workshop that everyone can apply and use in their own educational and professional circles. I am busy lining up our next series of events which will most likely take place towards the end of July. I had a chance to speak to the COO of Secure64 at a conference in Denver and am luring him to speak on DNSSEC. He has worked closely with Dan Kaminsky in 2008 on a multitude of DNS flaws and most notably the serious DNS vulnerability revealed in summer of '08.

Until our next meeting, spread the word on OWASP and get involved. Get online on our own IRC channel (#owasp-atlanta on EfNet) and stay in touch with leaders and other members for a free for all discussion on mostly security related topics, but OT topics have been known to be introduced. Last, if you have a job and your employer is looking to be a financial contributor to an organization that can benefit the greater Atlanta security community as well as their own security efforts, please let us know.

Put your money where your time is. Support your local chapter with a formal membership to a great non-profit organization aimed to elevate web application security. To contribute to OWASP-Atlanta, go here: <paypal>Atlanta Georgia</paypal>

Call for Case Studies

As many of you know, we are steering OWASP-Atlanta to crank out some meaningful case studies with metrics. As part of the planning that goes into this, we have spoken to a few organizations that have expressed interest in gaining our expertise on an array of security topics that revolve around web application security. On our part, we need to formalize our A-Team in order to see who would be available for which types of case-study genres. If you are interested in partaking on this team, please let me know. You can reach me at tonyuv [at] versprite [dot] com. --VerSprite 19:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
