Meeting Minutes from Latin America Chapters Workshop

What is the Chapter Leader Workshop?

On Wednesday, October 5,2011 at 13:30h-16:30h the Global Chapter Committee is organizing a chapter leader workshop for all the chapter leaders that attend the conference. Please note that this Workshop will take place on the day before the Conference starts.

Items that will be discussed are:

• How to improve the current Chapter Leader Handbook?
• How to start and support new chapters within Latin America?
• How to support inactive chapters within Latin America?
• What Governance model is required for OWASP chapters?
• How can the Global Chapters Committee facilitate the Latin American chapters?
• ...

Additionally we hope to make time and space available to do hands-on work revising the Chapter Leader Handbook, details TBA.

Funding to Attend the Workshop

If you need financial assistance to attend the Chapter Leader Workshop at AppSec Latin America, please submit a request to Tin Zaw and Sarah Baso by August 22, 2011.

Funding for your attendance to the workshop should be worked out in the following order.

1. Ask your employer to fund your trip to AppSec Latin America conference.
2. Utilize your chapter funds.
3. Ask the chapter committee for funding assistance.

While we wish we could fund every chapter leader, due to the limited amount of budget allocated for this event, we may not be able to fund 100% to all the requests. After August 22, we will make funding decision in a fair and transparent manner. When you apply for funding, please highlight your past contributions to OWASP and your future plans for the local chapter and OWASP.
