Technical Project Advisory Roles
- I am at the second stage of the interview process for each candidate.
- I have created job descriptions for each role, and I had those roles posted for over a month.
- I had a good amount of candidates apply for each role.
- I have sent out e-mails asking each candidate to answer 3 questions regarding their interest in these roles.
- 10 candidates responded to these questions.
- I went ahead and scheduled interviews with 7 candidates for this week, and I have 2 more interviews scheduled for the week of the 24th.
- I interviewed 7 candidates this week.

Marketing Phase 3 Update
- We are at the final stages of our copywriting work with Sisterworks Publishing.
- Design Foundry has now started designing their first drafts of our remaining marketing collateral.
- We will work with both companies to finalize these designs for community review.
- We will ask for community feedback once we get a more finalized version of each design.
- Phase 1 Deliverable
- Phase 2 Deliverable
- SEO Content Audit
  - Note: Phase 2 Deliverable has recommendations made by Sisterworks and Design Foundry based on their research.
  - We are not necessarily moving forward with these recommendations towards implementation.
  - Sisterworks and Design Foundry are helping with our brand consistency and collateral design.

Event Manager Interviews
- I have started putting together a project page dedicated to the different event modules/activities we offer at our AppSec Conferences.
- The page is meant to be an informative piece that gives conference and event planners some basic guidelines.
- Currently, the structure and the outline of the page are complete.
- I still have to finish writing the copy for each section.
- I hope to have this complete by the end of June.

Personal Development
- I have finished reading Board Member Orientation: The Concise and Complete Guide to Non-Profit Board Service by Michael E. Batts.
- I am still taking my online course from Coursera.
- The course topic is Information Security and Risk Management in Context.
- Additionally, I am going to take a week long course next week in the UK.
- The course topic is Intellectual Property Strategy.
- I will write a report on my learnings for the community after the course ends.
- I will be away from Monday, June 17th - Saturday, June 22nd 2013.
