Black Hat EU 2013
- I attended the Black Hat EU conference this week.

- I was also able to attend the Netherlands Chapter meeting.
- Martin Knobloch, Dennis Groves, and Anil Pazvant volunteered at the event as well.
- For more details, please read my Black Hat EU 2013 Post Conference Report.

OWASP University Challenge & CTF at Global AppSecs
- Martin Knobloch and I were able to meet and talk about how to bring University Challenge and the Capture the Flag event modules to AppSec EU Research, USA, and Latam.
- There were some concerns over space availability for these event modules.
- We proposed having the OSS, CTF, and University Challenge event modules share a room.
- We are waiting to hear back from Dirk regarding logistics.

OWASP at Hack in the Box: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- I had the fantastic opportunity to meet with the CEO of Hack in the Box, Mr. Dhillon Kannabhiran.
- We spoke about a possible partnership between OWASP and Hack in the Box.
- We currently have a booth for the Amsterdam event, and I negotiated a booth for us at the Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia event as well.
- Logistics are currently being developed and planned.

OWASP Asia Leadership Outreach Project
- This Asia Leadership Outreach Project came about during the discussion Dhillon and I had about OWASP at the Kuala Lumpar, Hack in the Box event.
- He mentioned that he has offered OWASP a booth at the Kuala Lumpar, Hack in the Box event for a few years.
- However, the local OWASP chapter volunteers have not been able to represent OWASP very well at his conference.
- We suggested developing an OWASP Malaysia and Singapore outreach project that would involve a workshop, and the co-running of the Hack in the Box booth by members of both chapters.
- Dhillon agreed that developing a workshop with more experienced leaders giving primary direction, will help the Malaysian and Singaporean chapters understand their responsibilities at similar outreach events.
- I am currently putting together a proposal for this project.
