Roadmap

• Determine the current market need. This requires involvement from people in enterprise that are tacking these problems. No guessing about what we think people need.
• Evaluate current OWASP projects to understand match with market need and quality of projects
• Identify 3-4 projects that will be focused on for growth and promotion
• Archive other projects (within defender domain) that are abandoned or not inline with market need
• Cross training - We should all be able to help out to advance our 3-4 core projects
• Significantly advance quality of selected projects
• Community outreach for adoption
• High quality marketing efforts
• Conference presentations across multiple projects
