OWASP Project Manager Report

Work accomplished/roundly 6 months of activity
  • Together with Konstantinos Papapanagiotou, I've set the OWASP projects and resources you can use TODAY/Greece Chapter Training Course.
  • I've contributed to the Summit 2011 setting up. All the organization process was mainly a team work but my contribution can be divided in 4 distinct parts. The first, concerns the initial task of choosing venue and partners and obtaining a initial cost estimation. The second, regards the final push up to make sure all the Summit participants have their task of setting up partial working sessions timely concluded. The third, has involved designing a flexible schedule concept to deal with both a very large amount of contents to be treated and the need of deciding on a daily basis what would be scheduled. This part of my participation also includes the integration of the team that kept the scheduled updated throughout all the event. The fourth, concerns the work previously done to assure that the presence in the event of a Portuguese Government representative and that the right conditions to produce a protocol for mutual engagement in education activities were created.
  • I've translated the draft made available by Luís Magalhães for us to work on and build up a Protocol of Cooperation between UMIC - The Knowledge Society Agency and OWASP Foundation Inc.
  • Sandra Paiva has been contracted, in October 2010 (3 months length contract) to the position of OWASP Training Manager, to be responsible for managing the OWASP ‘Chapter-lead’ Training activities and operationalising the concept of 'OWASP Academies'. Throughout this process, she was managed by Dinis Cruz and report directly to the OWASP Board. I have worked daily and directly with her providing training and guidance on all aspects related with OWASP organization and culture and trained her on the wiki usage.
