Currently Working On

• AppSec USA
  • Spent last week in Austin, Texas at AppSec USA: From Monday through Sunday.

  • Hoping to bring OSS to all four OWASP Global Conferences in 2013 on a larger scale.
  • Attended in-person board meeting.
  • One of the conference photographers.
  • Attended chapter leader workshop: Hoping to do something similar for Project Leaders.

  • I have added an Appendix.
  • The Project Donation agreement is finalised.
  • Flagship Projects: I think I should keep a section in here that describes what flagship projects are, but note that this designation is given by The Foundation? Thoughts?

  • Please have a read through it and we can discuss the items above in two weeks when we have our next meeting.

• Projects at Global AppSec Events 2013

  • Currently putting together a campaign for these initiatives, and planning the logistics.

• Salesforce Metadata Migration
  • I have completed collecting the data for all Active, Archived, and Merged Projects.
