OWASP Global Projects Report

Currently Working On

OWASP Project Leaders: Brand Usage Guidelines
- I have begun developing brand usage guidelines for our project leaders with Jim Manico's help.
- We have decided to use the Apache Software Foundation's documentation on the subject as a guide for our own.
- We feel they developed excellent material, and we plan to use their guidelines as a starting point.
- I have spent this week researching their materials, and outlining our usage requirements.

Project Leader Responsibilities & Expectations
- I am currently working on putting together documentation that outlines a project leader's responsibilities, and our foundation's expectations of them.
- I am also developing a "How to run a successful OWASP project" document.
- An OWASP project lifecycle info graphic is being developed as well.
- I hope that these "How To" documents and graphics will help project leaders understand their responsibilities, and how to leverage the OWASP project infrastructure for success.
- This is an ongoing operations project.
- I will have a first draft of these completed by the end of next week.

Sales Force for Projects
- We have decided to take a different approach to our grant research, writing, and management.
- This is primarily due to the limited number of resources and staff bandwidth.
- The plan is to source a hand full of grants for the foundation.
- Then focus on grant writing and management of these proposed grants for the year.
- Q2 will start the research stage of this plan.

Daily Project based queries and requests
- This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.
- Global AppSec questions.
- Funding queries.
- Travel availability.
- Project based administrative help.
- Project status information.
- Several project donations questions.
- OWASP LinkedIn Updates.
- What's happening with projects, questions.

Amount: $25,000
Status: DHS and Georgia Tech have not sent payment. I am reaching out to them again to try and see what the hold up is.

Amount: $120,00 in Adwords Funds
Status: We continue to test different keywords and strategies to try and find the best way to leverage this grant award. We are currently testing a strategy for the AppSec USA conference this year. I am seeking assistance from an AdWords expert next week.
